AP Top 25 College Football Poll Released with New Top Four
Another great week of college football is in the books, and that means some major changes in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll of college footballs best teams
A new top four is here, but Alabama hasn’t gone anywhere. The Tide remain at the number one spot after knocking off Ole Miss, while the Ohio State Buckeyes follow up at number two.
Louisville finally got some recognition at number three, and Michigan stays at number four after a win over Colorado.
The biggest falls for teams that stayed in the top 25 include Florida State, Texas, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss. Notre Dame fell completely out of the top 25 after being ranked 18th last week, as did Iowa and Oregon.
Major jumps were made by Louisville, Miami, and Texas A&M. Teams being ranked that were not in the top 25 last week include Nebraska, San Diego State, and Utah.
