Multiple upsets inside the college football top 10 left voters scratching their heads when creating a new poll

Losses by Michigan, Clemson, Washington, Texas A&M, and Auburn re-wrote the AP Poll, giving an interesting blueprint to the College Football Playoff Committee.

While the Committee poll will carry more weight and mean more come playoff time, the AP Poll is a great building block heading into the following week.

Ohio State and Louisville entered the top four after dominating wins, while Oklahoma and Penn State continue their rise.

Auburn and Texas A&M fell out of the top 10, but did finish in the top 25.
