College football fans were treated to an exciting weekend of games on Saturday, Oct. 12, with many top-ranked teams facing off in thrilling matchups. Oregon made history by defeating Ohio State for the first time in a nail-biting finish, while other ranked teams narrowly escaped with overtime wins. As a result, the AP Top 25 voters now face the task of reshuffling the rankings to reflect the weekend’s outcomes.
Despite Oregon’s strong case for the top spot, it is projected that Texas will maintain its position as the top-ranked team following a decisive victory over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. The Longhorns received 52 of 61 first-place votes in the previous poll, indicating strong support from voters.
Further down the rankings, Ohio State, Georgia, and Alabama are expected to see some movement after close victories, while Penn State’s comeback win could propel them into the top five. Other teams like Iowa State, Clemson, and LSU are also poised to move up in the rankings after impressive performances in Week 7.
Looking ahead, matchups between top teams like Tennessee and Alabama will shake up the rankings even further in the coming weeks. With the college football season heating up, fans can expect more exciting games and potential upsets as teams vie for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
