Joy Taylor recaps a wild college football week in which five of the top seven teams lost, reshuffling the AP rankings: Miami rises to No. 1 after an overtime win over Florida State, BYU jumps to No. 2 after beating Notre Dame, while Texas drops to No. 19 after losing to unranked Florida and Alabama falls to No. 13 after a loss to Tennessee; she also notes UCLA staying undefeated and Houston reaching its best ranking since 2016. Taylor discusses increased parity from NIL and postseason expansion as Miami prepares to host unranked Pitt. In the NFL, she highlights the Texans’ must-win London victory over the AFC South-leading Jaguars, sparked by C.J. Stroud’s three touchdowns and game-winning drive, and closes with the Rams’ loss to the Cardinals on a last-second field goal, pointing to injuries and overblown preseason expectations in the NFC West.
