Louisville and quarterback Lamar Jackson were the talk of the past weekend. Then #2 Florida State were on the wrong side of that dominant performance. The Cardinals and Seminoles essentially swapped spots in this week's poll. 

Cal is peeking into the Top 25. Their defense finally made a few stops against Texas last week. If they can find a way to make a few more in their upcoming games maybe they'll force their way into the rankings. They score with anyone on their schedule.

More earth-shaking than Cal's presence just outside of the Top 25 is that of North Dakota State. And the Bison are doing it the year after they lost Carson Wentz to the NFL.
