College football takeaways - Lasting impressions from Week 5 - ESPN

Week 5 brought an instructive slate of games. Teams that started the season flying high, such as Florida, Iowa and Mississippi State, came back down, while Ohio State reasserted itself and Alabama continued rolling.

Results matter, so technically Ole Miss could be the answer to this question, but its 52-28 loss to the Gators is a blemish that can't be ignored.

As of now, there might not be a one-loss team that
