We’re into the middle of October and chaos has hit the college football landscape. A goalpost was thrown into the Cumberland River in Nashville on Saturday after one of the biggest upsets in recent memory and the top of the AP Poll now has some massive changes because of top 10 teams getting beat.

This weekend gives us two of the biggest games of the season. New No. 1 Texas faces No. 18 Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, and Oregon travels to Columbus to face Ohio State with both teams ranked in the top three. There will be more significant changes to the polls next week because of some huge conference matchups.
