No. 17 Texas Tech won the turnover battle in a 34-10 road victory against No. 16 Utah, and No. 11 Oklahoma handed No. 22 Auburn a 24-17 loss.
But the most shocking outcome of the day came from the Big Ten, with No. 19 Indiana rolling past No. 9 Illinois 63-10.

Follow live updates from The Associated Press below for game recaps, poll predictions and analysis, all in one place.
Here's the latest:
Stock up:
1. No. 17 Texas Tech delivered an upset road victory against No. 16 Utah, beating the Utes in all phases of the game with a 34-10 win.
2. No. 19 Indiana was the biggest stunner of the week, outscoring No. 9 Illinois 63-10. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza threw for five touchdowns for the second straight week, leading the Hoosiers to a big-time win.
Stock down:
3. Utah is expected to tumble after losing to Big 12 foe Texas Tech on Saturday.
4. A 63-10 loss to Indiana left Illinois shocked and looking for answers. The Fighting Illini, last ranked No. 9, will be fighting to keep the team’s ranking this week.
No. 1 Ohio State, No. 2 Penn State, No. 5 Georgia, No. 10 Texas A&M, No. 12 Iowa State and No. 14 Alabama all had the benefit of an early bye.
What does it mean for the rankings? Ohio State and Penn State are likely safe in the top two, but there could be some fluctuation after that.
Voters don’t typically penalize a team for having the week off, but statement wins could reshuffle standings from the mid-level on down.
