Today’s live updates have ended, but there’s still plenty to catch up on. Read what you missed below, and join us for the next poll drop on Nov. 23.
The latest AP Top 25 poll showcases new teams in top spots: Georgia inched up to No. 4, Ole Miss cracked the top five and Oklahoma slid into the top 10 at No. 8.
Georgia’s move comes thanks to its win over Texas, which dropped to No. 17, and to Oklahoma beating Alabama, which pushed the Crimson Tide down to No. 10.
Further down in the poll, No. 22 North Texas is ranked for the first time since 1959. That brings the number of Group of Five teams in the Top 25 to three, a first this season. The SEC has nine teams in the rankings, with five in the top 10.
Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M held onto the top three spots for a fifth straight week.
Oregon and Texas Tech both moved up to tie at No. 6.
Find out more about what happened in this week’s Top 25 poll, tell us what the rankings should’ve been and follow live updates from The Associated Press below.
Games next week that could shake up the top 10:
- No. 6 Oregon (9-1) vs. No. 16 USC (8-2): A loss here is a real blow to the CFP hopes of either team; for USC, it would eliminate any chance at all. The winner boosts its resume for an at-large playoff bid.
- No. 8 Oklahoma (8-2) vs. No. 23 Missouri (7-3): This is another significant SEC matchup. The Sooners have already won four games against Top 25 opponents and have at-large playoff hopes. Still, they’ll need to guard against a letdown after their victory at Alabama. Mizzou hasn’t yet won a game against a team with a winning record.
