AP Top-25 Shake-Up: Texas And Penn State Out, Miami Climbs To No. 2 After Wild Week 6
College football chaos continues as Miami rises, Georgia Tech surges, and preseason favorites Texas and Penn State fall from the rankings
After losing on Saturday, both Texas and Penn State have been removed from the latest college football AP Top-25 that has been released.
In what was a monumental loss to UCLA, with their second-straight Big Ten defeat, Penn State is now looking in from the outside. The latest upset loss has folks in Happy Valley in a bad mood, with much of the attention toward head coach James Franklin.
As for Texas, this is obviously not the team that many were hyping up before the season started, with Arch Manning receiving plenty of unwarranted attention for the Heisman Trophy.
Now, one month later, the Longhorns have also been sent packing, after starting the season ranked first in the country.
Plenty Of Movement In The New AP Top-25 Poll
After beating Florida State, the Miami Hurricanes are now ranked second, with Oregon dropping a spot to third.
The biggest mover would have to be Georgia Tech, who jumped four spots to No.13 in this week's poll, followed by Tennessee's jump to No. 12.
As for Vanderbilt, coming off the loss at Alabama, the Commodores are rightfully still ranked, coming in at No. 20.
Here is the latest AP Top-25
- 1. Ohio State
- 2. Miami
- 3. Oregon
- 4. Ole Miss
- 5. Texas A&M
- 6. Oklahoma
- 7. Indiana
- 8. Alabama

- 19. Virginia
- 20. Vanderbilt
- 21. Arizona State
- 22. Iowa State
- 23. Memphis

It's obvious that voters are still giving FSU the benefit of the win over Alabama, while Iowa State fell eight spots after the loss to Cincinnati.
