Oklahoma and Notre Dame Drop Out of Top 10

One of the biggest surprises of the week was the Oklahoma Sooners losing their second straight game of the season, falling to their rivals Oklahoma State Cowboys in the final edition of the Bedlam series.

Another shocker was the Notre Dame Fighting Irish losing their third game of the year, as they were routed by Clemson Tigers on the road.

Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Will Shipley added 112 yards and a score on the ground.
