AP Top 25: Ohio State Remains #1, Utah in the Top 5
This weekend of college football provided us with plenty of excitement. Whether you enjoyed a lights out performance by TCU or nail biters from the leaders of the BIG 10, your weekend was nothing short of entertaining.
In the latest AP poll, Ohio State was able to hold their number one position after a close game against Indiana in a 34-27 win. Followed by them are TCU and Baylor, who each put up video game-like numbers against Texas and Texas Tech. TCU leads Baylor by seven points in the polls, if there’s going to be any sort of BIG 12 championship game this year it’ll be November 27th when these two teams face off.
Utah might be the biggest surprise at the top of the AP rankings as they come in at number five and leading the PAC-12 conference. Florida was able to jump 14 spots after thumping Ole Miss in Gainesville this weekend and sit at #11. Ole Miss on the other hand fell 11 spots down to #14. Northwestern has quietly moved up in the polls and they sit just inside the top 15 at #13 behind Florida State and in front of Ole Miss and Notre Dame.
The SEC leads every conference with six teams in the top 25. However the BIG 12 holds two teams in the top five at numbers two and three. The PAC-12 only holds one team in the top 15 but have four from 16-25.
