Poll Preview: Rankings May See Little Change in Top 10; No. 13 Gators’ Loss to USF Biggest Surprise
South Florida earned its second consecutive victory over ranked teams, contributing to significant shifts in the Associated Press Top 25 after several dominant performances by other squads.
- On Saturday, Nico Gramatica's 20-yard field goal as time expired gave South Florida Bulls an 18-16 upset over Florida Gators, capped by Keshaun Singleton's 66-yard touchdown with Byrum Brown at quarterback.
- After last week's shakeup, the Top 25 found relative calm as Saturday featured blowouts including Ohio State Buckeyes' 70-0 rout and Oregon Ducks' 69-3 victory over Oklahoma State.
- Momentum swung against Florida after defensive lineman Brandon Bett's ejection for spitting awarded South Florida Bulls 15 yards and an automatic first down, with the Gators trailing 15 in the fourth following a safety from a bad snap amid criticism of coach Billy Napier's play-calling.
- Poll implications suggest the South Florida Bulls will enter the AP Top 25 after upsetting then-No. 13 Florida, becoming only the third unranked team since 2000 to start 2-0 by beating two ranked opponents.
- Elsewhere, SMU Mustangs lost 48-45 to Baylor Bears in two overtimes, Illinois Fighting Illini scored on five straight possessions in a 45-19 win, and Georgia Bulldogs beat Austin Peay 28-6 with a long weather delay.
