While Week 4 of the college football season was the SEC's introduction into 2020, it was the Miami (FL) Hurricanes that came away as one of the weekend's biggest winners. Following a 52-10 win over Florida State -- one of the most lopsided victories in that rivalry's history -- Miami climbed six spots in the latest USA Today Amway Coaches Poll to No. 8. It was the second-biggest jump of any single team coming out of Saturday's action.
The biggest jump belonged to Mississippi State, which predictably had a huge bump following its 44-34 win at LSU. The Bulldogs, previously unranked, climbed all the way up to No. 14. The Tigers, meanwhile, fell 12 spots to No. 17. And following its stunning collapse against Kansas State, Oklahoma fell 13 spots to No. 16.
Elsewhere, Pitt entered the rankings at No. 25 following its 23-20 win over Louisville. Minnesota and Louisiana fell out of the rankings, though the Ragin' Cajuns did beat Georgia Southern on Saturday.
