Week 6 of the 2024 college football season could be described in one word: chaotic.
Five teams in the top 11 of the AP Poll took shocking losses, with top-ranked Alabama, No. 4 Tennessee, No. 9 Missouri, No. 10 Michigan and No. 11 USC all falling on Saturday. While top-tier teams around the country dropped like flies, Ohio State took care of business with a 35-7 victory over visiting Iowa — putting the Buckeyes in position to reclaim one of the top two spots in both polls.
While the Buckeyes rose in both polls, as did their next foe: Oregon.
