Ohio State, with J.T. Barrett back in the starting lineup at quarterback, remains the nation's No. 1 team after trouncing Rutgers 49-7 on Saturday night in Piscataway. After seeing some of their first-place votes get distributed elsewhere over the last several weeks, the Buckeyes' hold on No. 1 (49 of 62 first-place votes) has improved.
Utah and Florida State, both unbeaten heading into the weekend, lost in different ways. The Utes, down seven spots to No. 14, struggled with turnovers and were overwhelmed early by USC while Florida State, well, if you haven't seen Georgia Tech's field goal block returned for a touchdown then you need to take a moment and check it out (along with the spectacular radio call) right now.
