Texas A&M Aggies (+3). The Aggies rushing attack led them to victory against Missouri, as quarterback Zach Calzada was average against the Tigers. Still, he did enough to get the victory.
Oklahoma State Cowboys (+3). The undefeated Cowboys are still relatively low on PFF‘s rankings, but they’re on the move. Following a comeback victory over Texas, Oklahoma State has steadily flown under the radar in 2021.
Iowa Hawkeyes (-4). A rough loss to Purdue sent the Hawkeyes tumbling down the rankings. According to PFF, Iowa’s passing attack was the fourth-least efficient in the entire Power Five last weekend. Evidently, it was their doom against the Boilermakers.
SMU Mustangs (-2). The Mustangs remained undefeated against Navy, but it was too close for PFF‘s liking. Still, they remained undefeated at the end of the day, and are in good shape with quarterback Tanner Mordecai leading the charge.
