Week 9 of college football blew up the top of the polls. Five ranked teams lost to unranked teams on Saturday, all five on the road, including No. 2 BYU in double overtime at UCF. So here’s our own Top 10, built from the results, not the polls.

The Five and a Fade Top 10 after Week 9

1. Miami (7-0): hung 52 on Pitt. Malachi Toney caught 16 passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns.
2. Ohio State (6-1)
3. UCLA (7-0): still unbeaten. This is the one that’s going to start arguments.
4. Utah (7-0)
5. Georgia (6-1)
6. Indiana (7-1)
7. Notre Dame (6-1)
8. Kentucky (7-1): yes, Kentucky. Seven wins is seven wins.
9. BYU (6-1): dropped after losing 39-31 in 2OT at UCF, but one loss in double overtime on the road doesn’t erase six wins.
10. Texas (5-2)
