Yahoo Top 10: 5 undefeated teams remain after chaotic finish to Week 10

What if I told you that Miami and SMU were tied atop the ACC standings? Or that BYU was alone leading the Big 12? And what about this nugget: Five SEC teams have one league loss atop the conference.

Saturday was a wild one. Five ranked teams lost to unranked foes: No. 10 Texas A&M (South Carolina), No. 11 Iowa State (Texas Tech), No. 11 Clemson (Louisville), No. 17 K-State (Houston) and No. 24 Illinois (Minnesota). Three unbeatens fell, including Penn State (Ohio State).

The upsets left us with some wacky and unexpected power conference standings. With A&M’s loss, the SEC has no undefeated teams in league play, and the Big 12 is down to just one unbeaten (BYU). In the ACC, the Hurricanes and Mustangs now just need to win out to meet in the ACC championship game (neither plays a ranked team the rest of the way and they don’t play one another). As for the Big Ten, it’s Oregon (expected) and Indiana (unexpected).

The Cyclones, Nittany Lions and Panthers all fell from the unbeaten ranks, leaving five perfect teams in the FBS: Oregon, Miami, BYU, Army (yes, Army) and Indiana (yes, Indiana).

And what of the Group of Five? Louisiana (Sun Belt), Boise State (Mountain West) and Tulane (American) all won weekday games to remain in the hunt for the CFP’s G5 access spot. On Saturday, Army joined them, keeping its dream season alive with a win over Air Force to move to 8-0. But Navy and Memphis likely catapulted themselves out of CFP contention with upset losses to Rice and UTSA, respectively.
