The first Saturday of October brought the first major shakeup to the top 10, with LSU, Oklahoma, and Auburn all losing away from the cozy confines of their home stadiums.
A notable exception to that chaos was Notre Dame, which went on the road and beat ranked Virginia Tech. As a result, we've kept the Fighting Irish ahead of Clemson and Georgia in the Power Rankings.
Texas, Florida, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State also made their own big leaps in the poll after knocking off ranked conference opponents.
Just a sign of things to come, surely.
