Chuck Hot 10: Georgia jumps to No. 1 after Notre Dame knocks off Miami

  • Georgia is the new No. 1 in the Chuck Hot 10 after a 42-7 win at Ole Miss on Saturday night. Gunner Stockton threw four touchdown passes on only 15 attempts, and the Bulldogs led 28-0 at halftime against a ranked Ole Miss team.

    Miami had held No. 1 here since the list started. Notre Dame ended that run with a 31-24 win in South Bend. Movement is measured against last week's Hot 10.

  • The Chuck Hot 10

    1. Georgia (8-1), up 3. Stockton went 9 of 15 for 186 yards and four touchdowns, and Talyn Taylor caught three of them in the 42-7 rout. (Recap)
    2. Utah (9-0), no change. Devon Dampier accounted for four touchdowns and the Utes intercepted Bear Bachmeier four times in a 28-20 win over BYU, ending a three-game skid in the Holy War. (Recap)
    3. Notre Dame (8-1), up 2. CJ Carr threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns as the Irish built a 21-point lead and held off No. 1 Miami 31-24. (Recap)
    4. UCLA (9-0), down 1. Still unbeaten after a 34-20 win at Minnesota, sealed by two 75-yard touchdown passes from Ty Dieffenbach to Aidan Mizell in the fourth quarter. (Recap)
    5. Miami (8-1), down 4. The only loss came on the road at Notre Dame, and the Hurricanes stay in the top five.
    6. Indiana (8-1), up 1. Idle Saturday. The Hoosiers host USC this week.
    7. Alabama (7-2), new. Keelon Russell played through an ankle injury and threw three touchdowns in a 31-13 win at LSU, and the defense made several fourth-down stops. (Recap)
    8. Tennessee (7-2), new. A 34-6 rout of a Kentucky team that came in ranked in the top 10. On Monday the Vols lost top pass rusher Tyree Weathersby for the season. (Recap)
    9. Texas (7-2), new. Arch Manning threw for 297 yards and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead score to Raleek Brown, in a 34-20 comeback win at Missouri. (Recap)
    10. Wake Forest (8-1), down 4. A school-record 77-0 win over FCS Merrimack with backup Steele Pizzella starting. It says little about how good Wake is, which is why it slides.

  • Dropped out: BYU, Kentucky and Ole Miss all lost to teams on this list. Just missed: Texas Tech (8-1) after Thomas Castellanos threw five touchdowns in a 53-48 win over West Virginia, and Oregon after a 41-28 win at Ohio State.
