College football NCAA Re-Rank 1-138 gets new look after Week 8 upsets

Brigham Young drops out of the top five but a Big 12 rival steps up to replace the Cougars in the USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-138.

Following losses by BYU and Texas Tech, Utah delivered a key win against Houston to rise to No. 4 in the new re-rank.

One week after a huge win against Notre Dame, BYU fell three spots to No. 6 after losing to Central Florida.

The drop was much bigger for the Red Raiders. A weak schedule plus a one-sided loss to Cincinnati dumps Tech down to No. 29, last among one-loss Power Four teams.

Ohio State remains No. 1, followed by Miami. Georgia moved up one spot to No. 3 and Indiana climbed to No. 5 after an overtime win against Michigan.
