"Miami moved back to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday, Texas Tech has its highest ranking since 2008 and Penn State and Texas fell all the way out of the Top 25 for the first time since 2022 after the two top-10 teams lost to unranked opponents. No. 1 Ohio State was dominant in its win over Minnesota, but its 40 first-place votes were its fewest since ascending to the top five weeks ago."
"Penn State took one of the biggest falls in the 99-year history of the poll for its loss at previously winless UCLA a week after the Bruins fired their coach. The Nittany Lions had slipped from No. 2 to No. 7 following their loss to Oregon. They went to UCLA as 24.5-point favorites, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, and lost 42-37. Penn State is unranked for the first time since September 2022."
"Oklahoma slipped from No. 5 to No. 6 despite its 44-0 shutout of Kent State. Indiana, which had an open date, is No. 7 and No. 8 Alabama got a two-spot promotion for its 16-point win over Vanderbilt. No. 9 Texas Tech, which won 35-11 at previously unbeaten Houston, cracked the top 10 for the first time since it was No. 8 in the final regular-season poll in 2008. Georgia moved up two spots to No. 10 after its win over Kentucky."
The AP college football poll showed notable movement following recent games. Ohio State stayed at No. 1 after a dominant win over Minnesota but recorded only 40 first-place votes. Miami climbed to No. 2 after defeating Florida State and received 21 first-place votes, while Oregon held other first-place votes. Mississippi and Texas A&M sit at No. 4 and No. 5, with the Aggies reaching their highest ranking since 2021. Oklahoma dropped to No. 6, Indiana is No. 7, Alabama rose to No. 8, Texas Tech moved to No. 9 — its best since 2008 — and Georgia is No. 10. Penn State and Texas fell out of the Top 25.
