An already dwindling crop of undefeated college football teams got even smaller on Saturday as BYU and Texas Tech lost for the first time this fall. As a result, both teams got dinged in the updated Coaches Poll.<\/p>\n
After a huge win over Notre Dame in Week 7, BYU sat at No. 3 entering the weekend, but crushing double-overtime loss to unranked UCF cost the Cougars a few spots this week. BYU has slipped to No. 9, but it will have opportunities to climb back up with the Holy War coming in a few weeks.<\/p>\n
Another Big 12 championship hopeful, Texas Tech, saw its dreams of a perfect season dashed by Cincinnati. Unlike the Cougars, the Red Raiders weren’t particularly competitive in their defeat. Cincinnati ran all over Texas Tech, which dropped from No. 5 to No. 14 in this week’s poll.<\/p>\n
A couple more highly-ranked team suffered losses — as has become the norm season. Tennessee coughed up a late lead to South Carolina and tumbled to No. 17, and USC slid all the way to No. 25 after laying an egg against Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
Oregon’s third loss of the season was finally enough for the Ducks to fall out of the top 25 entirely.<\/p>\n
