"After going 2-10 a year ago, the Seminoles are back in the AP top 10 like 2024 never happened. Indiana lost a number of key contributors from last year's College Football Playoff team, but the unbeaten Hoosiers just absolutely crushed a top-10 Illinois team. Texas Tech just went to Salt Lake City, played a physical Utah team on its own terms, and walloped the Utes, 34-10, despite losing starting quarterback Behren Morton to injury midway through the game."
"Like Indiana, the Tigers lost a number of players after last season but nailed a series of transfer portal acquisitions and have started this season 4-0. And after a quiet offseason with more middling headlines than positives, USC, 15-11 in 2023-24, is averaging 52.5 points per game and is already 2-0 in Big Ten play. BYU and Washington have outscored their first six opponents by 226 combined points (and BYU has done so despite starting a true freshman quarterback)."
Florida State began the season with a blowout of Alabama and quickly returned to the AP top 10 after a 2-10 season. Indiana, despite losing key contributors, dominated top-10 Illinois, while Texas Tech beat Utah 34-10 despite losing starting quarterback Behren Morton to injury. Missouri is 25-5 since 2023 after transfer portal additions and has started 4-0. USC is averaging 52.5 points per game and is 2-0 in Big Ten play. BYU and Washington have outscored their first six opponents by 226 points combined. Twelve teams are a combined 41-2, and their success is linked to leading net yards after contact (YAC).
