For the first time in what feels like forever, college football's top 10 came out of the weekend unscathed, thanks—in part—to Vanderbilt's last-minute win over Missouri that firmly placed quarterback Diego Pavia into Heisman Trophy contention.

Elsewhere in the NCAA, Texas A&M stomped all over LSU in Death Valley, Bill Belichick's UNC Tar Heels lost again—this time in dramatic, overtime fashion—and saw the coach pull off one of his classic stunts with the media, and Arch Manning led Texas to a comeback win over Mississippi State—but left in overtime with an injury.

And with that, another electric Saturday of college football has come and gone. Here's a look at the latest AP Top 25 rankings:
