The AP Top 25 was almost completely overhauled Sunday after a weekend in which nine ranked college football teams lost, including four in the top 10. It’s the poll’s highest turnover since 2022.
Ohio State was the only team to hold its spot, remaining at No. 1 for an eighth straight week.
No. 2 Indiana improved its program-record ranking by one spot. No. 3 Texas A&M’s one-rung promotion gives the Aggies their highest ranking since 1995. No. 4 Alabama achieved its highest ranking of the season and No. 5 Georgia returned to the top five after a three-week absence.
Notable showings continue further down in the poll, with No. 10 Vanderbilt becoming a top-10 team in college football for the first time since 1947. And No. 7 Georgia Tech, which won at Duke, hadn’t been in the top 10 since 2014
