College football risers, fallers: Florida is for real, Lincoln Riley is not

Florida established its status with a 52-28 home blowout over Ole Miss on September 26, powered by 302 rushing yards and six scores on the ground. Under the guidance of their first-year head coach, the Gators have caught the attention of Texas leader Steve Sarkisian, who praised their roster strength following prior matchups.

Mississippi State also made a massive statement as quarterback Kamario Taylor accumulated 360 passing yards and three touchdowns in a 31-24 victory against Missouri, setting up a high-stakes clash against Alabama. Meanwhile, USC struggled once again in high-profile action under Lincoln Riley, and UCLA improved to a 4-0 record by defeating Maryland 54-3 behind a strong rushing performance.
