Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt jumped into the top 10 of this week's Associated Press Top 25 Poll, while Ohio State retained the top spot on Sunday.
Ohio State's steady season was represented by the fact that the Buckeyes (7-0) were the only team whose spot was unchanged in the latest poll. The program's latest victory was a 34-0 rout over Wisconsin on Saturday.
Indiana (7-0) moved up a spot to No. 2, its highest spot in program history. No. 3 Texas A&M (7-0) also moved up one spot. No. 4 Alabama (6-1) moved up two spots, while No. 5 Georgia (6-1) rose four spots after a 37-20 victory over then-No. 11 Tennessee.
Oregon (6-1), Georgia Tech (7-0), Ole Miss (6-1), Miami (5-1) and Vanderbilt (6-1) round out the top 10. Ole Miss fell three spots after a 43-35 loss to Georgia, while Miami dropped seven spots after a 24-21 loss to Louisville on Friday.
Nine ranked teams lost last week, with four of those in the top 10. According to the Associated Press, it is the highest turnover in the poll since 2022. Among those teams was Texas Tech, which dropped seven spots to No. 14 after its first loss of the season, 26-22 to Arizona State.
Georgia Tech's rise continued following a 27-18 victory at Duke on Saturday, while Vanderbilt moved to No. 10 after a 31-24 home victory over then-No. 10 LSU. Georgia Tech is in the top 10 for the first time since 2014, while Vanderbilt is among the top 10 teams for the first time since 1947.
No. 19 Louisville (5-1), No. 23 Illinois (5-2), No. 24 Arizona State (5-2) and No. 25 Michigan (5-2) all jumped into the poll this week. LSU (5-2) fell 10 spots to No. 20 after its loss, its lowest ranking of the season.
