College Football Rankings Biggest Movers: Ole Miss, Colorado Buffaloes, Florida State
College football has finally arrived, and preseason projections can be tossed out of the window. The No. 1 Texas Longhorns, No. 4 Clemson Tigers, and No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide all suffered upset losses while teams like the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 9 LSU Tigers impressed against quality opponents.
Later in the rankings is even more variability. The AP Top 25 Poll has not been released as No. 6 Notre Dame and No. 10 Miami are set to square off on Sunday night. However, ESPN’s College Football Power Index (FPI) was updated after Saturday’s games, and the Florida State Seminoles, Ole Miss Rebels, Utah Utes, Colorado Buffaloes, and Boise State Broncos were some of the teams that made the biggest jumps after week 1.
The Florida State Seminoles were unranked to start the season, but an upset win over Alabama is sure to give Florida State a boost in perception, at the least. According to the FPI, Florida State is still outside of the top-25 at No. 40, but they moved up 25 spots from their preseason ranking.
Will the Seminoles be ranked once the AP Top 25 is released?
Utah dominated UCLA in the Rose Bowl, and the Utes could find themselves inside the AP Poll after receiving votes in the preseason edition. Other teams like the Ole Miss Rebels, USC Trojans, Tulane Green Wave also rose in the rankings after Saturday.
On the other hand, the Boise State Broncos fell 31 positions after losing 34-7 to South Florida.
The Colorado Buffaloes and coach Deion Sanders lost to Georgia Tech on Friday night, causing “Coach Prime” and his team to tumble nine spots in the rankings, down to No. 57. The FPI has Colorado ranked 13th out of the 16 teams in the Big 12.

A massive wildfire in Putnam County in northern Florida left Amtrak passengers stranded on a train for more than 24 hours.
One train heading to New York City was forced to turn around, arriving back in Miami Monday night, including one passenger who said he had been on that train for about 38 hours.
He says he and other passengers were left uncertain about what was going on.
“Angry, confused, uncertain, in the dark,” said John Reardon.
Reardon, who lives in New York City, says he boarded the train around 7 a.m. Sunday to go back home. He said around 3 p.m. Sunday, the train stopped near Jacksonville.
“Finally, after about 5 hours, they said we’re not going to New York, we’re going back to Miami,” Reardon said. “One stop at a time.”
Amtrak said for the safety of its passengers, the train couldn’t continue going north because of the fire.
“Amtrak sends a notification to the phone saying, ‘Hey, there’s an issue with the wildfire, it’s too close to the railway,’” said passenger Katrinia Wheeler.
Multiple crews are battling multiple fires in two Florida counties, leaving at least 3,000 acres burned.
“I saw that there was a lot of smoke coming from the woods, and then I saw the fire trucks and emergency services,” Wheeler said.
The train that left Miami at 7 a.m. on Sunday returned around 9 p.m. on Monday, leaving passengers frustrated.
Amtrak corporate says they made the decision out of safety for their customers and said customers would receive full refunds and vouchers.
