Texas crashed to No. 7 following a 27-24 loss to unranked Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry.
Georgia is the new No. 1 team in the country after knocking off Alabama 20-17 on the road, its first win in Tuscaloosa since 2007. The Bulldogs collected 66 first-place votes in the AP Top 25, taking the top spot for the first time since 2024.
The move at the top came with chaos just below it. Texas, previously the AP No. 1, fell six spots to No. 7 after losing 27-24 to unranked Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. Ohio State and Miami both climbed in the rankings behind Georgia, and Kentucky surged up to No. 15.
UCLA cracked the top 10 for the first time after upsetting Oregon in Eugene, pushing the Ducks out of that group. Georgia now turns to Auburn, which returns from its bye week to face the new No. 1 team. The Tigers have not beaten a top-ranked team since 2017, when they defeated Alabama 26-14, and have not played the AP No. 1 since a 2023 loss to Georgia.
