Ray-Ray McCloud of Clemson could’ve had a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown but decided that he couldn’t bear the thought of carrying the oblong object for one more nanosecond, dropping it just before he crossed the goal line. Four Pac-12 teams – Utah, UCLA, Colorado and Arizona State – are in the others receiving votes group. Houston, 6. Stanford, 7.

-Jake Browning, Washington, matched a school record with five TD passes and finished with 294 yards in the No. 8 Huskies’ 59-14 victory over Idaho. Texas, 12. Oklahoma, 13. But then all the weird, wacky and wonderful things we love about college football ensued.
