Instead, they only had 10 players on the field. But it wasn't the only miscue they made. There was a dropped interception on the final drive.

Colorado fell out of The Associated Press college football poll after a resounding loss in one of the weekend's showcase games and the teams toward the top of the rankings were shuffled and tightened. Six teams received first-place votes. Georgia is still where it started at No. 1 but down to 55 first-place votes. Michigan remained No. 2 and got a first-place vote. Texas stayed at No. 3 with two first-place votes. Ohio State moved up two spots to No. 4 and got a first-place vote after beating Notre Dame. Colorado went from 19th to out after losing 42-7 to Oregon.
