20. Finally, a shoutout to the Minnesota Golden Gophers, who, like most of you, I’d written off for the season after their inexplicable Week 4 loss to 31-point underdog Bowling Green. It’s proven to be a complete aberration, as Minnesota (6-2, 3-1) has since rolled off four consecutive wins and is now in first place in the Big Ten West.
Bowling Green, of note, made history in a much different way Saturday. Coach Scot Loeffler was ejected from Saturday’s game against Buffalo in the third quarter after committing unsportsmanlike penalties on back-to-back drives. He’s the first coach that’s happened to since a rules change in 2016. The silver lining: His Falcons proceeded to score four touchdowns without him to win 56-44 — their first victory since Minnesota.

Mandel's Final Thoughts: Georgia is No. 1 in the College Football Playoff's first rankings, but 2-4 are anyone's guess
Oregon should be higher than Ohio State, and Cincinnati should be in the top four.
