College football winners, losers in Week 6: UCLA's turnaround continues, while Texas stumbles

Week 6 of college football delivered a mix of dominant statements and costly missteps, with Georgia solidifying its claim to the top spot while Texas’s recent momentum unraveled. The Bulldogs crushed Alabama in Tuscalosa, showcasing a balanced attack with over 450 total yards—including 200 on the ground—and holding Alabama’s Keelon Russell to just 185 passing yards.

Quarterback Gunner Stockton orchestrated a flawless performance, completing 18 of 22 passes against a stifling Crimson Tide defense, while Georgia’s offense converted more than half of its third-down attempts. Their six-game start remains untouched, and the Bulldogs will officially leapfrog Texas to No.

1 in Sunday’s rankings after a season-defining win that left little doubt about their elite status.

Meanwhile, Texas’s reign as the top team took a sharp turn in Dallas, where the Longhorns collapsed against Oklahoma in a game that exposed lingering vulnerabilities. The loss marked the biggest drop of the week, as six AP Top 25 teams fell in the standings or revealed critical weaknesses.

Indiana and Tennessee both survived late scrambles—Indiana clawing back against Nebraska, while Tennessee rallied for a 14-3 fourth-quarter surge over Arkansas—yet the broader picture remains one of parity outside the untouchable tier of Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Miami. For Texas, the State Fair of Texas game wasn’t just a defeat; it was a turning point that could reshape the national title conversation before it even begins.
