Florida State had a much better day, easily dispatching Syracuse 45-14. The Seminoles are now No. 5 in the rankings, and they look poised to make a run at the ACC title. Quarterback Deondre Francois was impressive, throwing for 315 yards and four touchdowns.
Finally, Alabama had an impressive showing against Texas A&M, winning 27-19 in College Station. The Crimson Tide are now No. 1 in the rankings, and they look like the team to beat in the SEC. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was solid, throwing for 164 yards and two touchdowns.
Overall, it was an exciting day of college football action, and the AP Top 25 rankings were impacted significantly. Colorado struggled, Florida State shined, and Alabama impressed in Saturday’s action. It will be interesting to see how these teams fare in the weeks ahead.
