AP Top-25 College Football Rankings: Miami Jumps To No. 2, SEC And Big Ten Power Matchups On Deck

After an entertaining weekend of college football, the latest AP Top 25 poll delivered some notable movement — and set the stage for monster SEC and Big Ten matchups next weekend.

The biggest shakeup came after Indiana demolished Illinois 63-10 in Bloomington, sending the Hoosiers surging up the rankings. Meanwhile, No. 11 Oklahoma handled No. 22 Auburn, though the Tigers managed to avoid a steep drop.

And, Miami jumped two spots after the win over Florida to takeover the No. 2 spot, leaping Penn State in the process.

Texas Tech also impressed, pulling away from Utah in the second half. With the Red Raiders climbing into the Top 15, boosters in Lubbock are feeling good about their investment in a roster built to compete for a College Football Playoff spot.
