1. Six top-15 teams lost Saturday, and 34 ranked teams have lost through five weeks.
Of those six top-15 losses, three came at the hands of fellow top-15 teams (Alabama beat Ole Miss, Georgia beat Arkansas, Cincinnati beat Notre Dame), but that’s the most top-15 losses on a single day since Oct. 4, 2014.
The 25 ranked losses through four weeks were the most in the history of the AP poll (since 1936). Nine more ranked teams lost Saturday.
2. Alabama has scored at least 30 points in 31 consecutive games, tying UCF’s FBS record.
UCF set that record from 2017-19. Alabama’s latest performance was a 42-21 win against Ole Miss.
Ole Miss recorded just one offensive play longer than 20 yards Saturday after recording eight such plays in last year’s game against the Crimson Tide. Nick Saban is now 24-0 against his former assistants as head coaches.
3. Georgia’s defense has allowed one touchdown through five games.
The Bulldogs shut out No. 8 Arkansas 37-0 on Saturday, the program’s largest margin of victory against a top-10 team. It was Georgia’s third shutout of a top-10 team and first since 1976, and it also gave the Bulldogs consecutive SEC shutouts for the first time since 1980.
The Georgia defense has allowed just 16 points through five games (UAB also had a pick six).
4. Kentucky beat Florida at home for the first time since 1986 and is on a seven-game winning streak for the first time since 1977.
The Wildcats had just 224 yards in the 20-13 win and went 1-for-9 on third down, but they returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown and Florida committed 15 penalties for 115 yards.
Kentucky is 2-2 in its last four against Florida after setting an SEC record with 31 consecutive losses to the Gators.
