Down goes No. 1. It has become a familiar refrain in college football 2026.

This week's victim was Miami, which lost 31-24 to Notre Dame. Yes, the Hurricanes were without star wideout Malachi Toney but they did fall behind 24-3 as the Irish lit up the Hurricane defense.

There are two undefeated teams left in college football. They both somehow begin with the letter "U." Yes, that would be UCLA and Utah.

One can only imagine how Kyle Whittingham feels. The former Utes coach is with Michigan and the Wolverines are in freefall, losing in Week 10 to Michigan State.
