The Seminoles smashed a good Maryland team (that appeared at #22 last week) to the tune of 63 points to nothing and rise to #3 on that performance.

Teams falling out of the Top 25: (#34) Utah, (#42) Maryland
Teams worse than the average FCS team: (#122) FIU, (#123) Western Michigan, (#124) Miami (OH), (#125) Georgia State, (#126) New Mexico State
Largest improvement in rank: +26 Michigan State bounces back from a loss to Notre Dame two weeks ago to beat a decent Iowa team 26-14 on the road.
Largest drop in rank: -22 Penn State falls to #54 after losing to Indiana for the first time ever, 44-24.
Most consistent team: Georgia: You might not think Georgia should be considered consistent following this week's scare by Tennessee, but that's probably because you're underrating this year's Vols. Georgia has had one of the toughest schedules so far and tends to beat those teams by a score.
Most inconsistent team: Old Dominion: As a provisional FBS school this year, Old Dominion has faced primarily FCS teams so far, which the math treats exactly the same. Because of this, a 1-point win over Citadel and a 56-point win over Albany looks like a major swing.

Games to watch next week:
(#1) Oregon at (#10) Washington (4:00 PM ET, Fox Sports 1) The top-ranked Ducks face their biggest test of the season so far, while Washington is playing to keep their chances of winning the Pac-12 North alive following last week's loss to Stanford. Line: Oregon by 14.5
(#6) Missouri at (#15) Georgia (12:00 PM ET, ESPN) Mizzou might be overrated at #6, but their running game is cause for Tiger optimism. Georgia is still the favorite here, but the Dawgs should be on upset alert, especially after this week's scare from Tennessee. Line: Georgia by 4
(#12) Florida at (#14) LSU (3:30 PM ET, CBS) Pity LSU. The Tigers get Georgia and Florida from the SEC East this year, while Bama plays Tennessee and Kentucky, and Texas A&M plays Vandy and Mizzou. After losing to Georgia already, LSU will have a hard time making it to the SEC Championship if they lose to the Gators as well. Line: Florida by 3.5
(#7) Stanford at (#34) Utah (6:00 PM ET, Pac-12 Network) Stanford is sitting pretty atop the Pac-12 North, while the Utes wallow near the bottom of the Pac-12 South. Utah should not be counted out, however. They've shown flashes of greatness this season and can pull off the upset, especially if Stanford is looking ahead to the week-after against UCLA. Line: Stanford by 5
(#23) Georgia Tech at (#24) BYU (7:00 PM ET, ESPNU) Georgia Tech has fallen recently, after back-to-back losses to Virginia Tech and Miami (FL). Meanwhile, BYU is back in the Top 25 for the first time since the pre-season, following a 17-point win over Utah State. Both have Top 25-caliber running games, and the Yellow Jackets and Cougars should be evenly matched. Line: Georgia Tech by 2.5
