UNDATED (AP) — Field goals are coming in bunches for Colorado State’s Cayden Camper. He kicked a school-record six in a 32-14 win over San Jose State. That’s the most in a Football Bowl Subdivision game in two years. Michigan State’s Kenneth Walker III had his second 200-yard game, going for 233 yards on 29 carries against Rutgers. Walker leads the nation with an average of 150 yards per game. Iowa became the fourth team since 2000 to intercept 16 passes through six games. Arizona State has won five straight Pac-12 games by double digits for the first time since 1996.
UNDATED (AP) — The No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press college football poll has been in the possession of just a few elite teams over the last six seasons. Alabama (63 times), Clemson (23), Ohio State (10) and LSU (eight) were the only teams to reach No. 1 from 2015 through Saturday. Georgia has now joined that group, reaching the top spot in the AP poll presented by Regions Bank for the first time since being preseason No. 1 in 2008. It has been 39 years since the Bulldogs were No. 1 in a regular-season poll. Preseason No. 1 Alabama slipped to fifth after becoming the first No. 1 to be upset by an unranked team since 2008. Reality Check thinks the Tide might have been cut too much slack.

The defending national champion Crimson Tide slipped four spots to No. 5 after its first loss of the season. Iowa is up to No. 2, leading five Big Ten teams ranked in the top 10, a first for that conference.
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Jonathan Doerer kicked a 48-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining, capping a dramatic rally to give No. 14 Notre Dame a 32-29 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday night.
