  • The afternoon window settled a lot of the Top 10 picture on Saturday. Utah and UCLA are both 8-0, and BYU's win means next week's game in Salt Lake City is a meeting of one-loss and unbeaten Big 12 teams. We have separate recaps of Georgia's 27-8 win over Florida, Indiana's overtime escape against Minnesota and Oregon's comeback against Northwestern.

    No. 6 Utah 49, Cincinnati 25. Devon Dampier threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns, and the Utes won their 14th straight game, the longest active streak in FBS, according to the AP recap on ESPN. Hunter Andrews caught five passes for 112 yards and two scores, and Rabbit Evans returned a fumble 51 yards for a touchdown. Utah is 8-0 for the first time since 2010.

    No. 7 UCLA 27, Nevada 0. The Bruins intercepted Nevada three times in the first quarter and four times in all, and Ty Dieffenbach threw for a touchdown and ran for another. It was UCLA's first shutout at the Rose Bowl since 2007, and its first 8-0 start since 2005.
