The top five all won, although Ohio State had to come back to do it. ‘Bama put up 49 points in the first half, whereupon they emptied the bench.

#6 Wisconsin lost to unranked BYU.
#7 Auburn lost to #12 LSU by a single point. LSU remains undefeated.
Farther down the list, #22 USC made it clear they did not belong among the ranked teams after they were shellacked 37-14 by the Texas Longhorns.
Some of the ranked teams were scheduled to play in the path of the hurricane, and those games were therefore postponed or canceled.
