Today’s live updates have ended, but there’s still plenty to catch up on. Read what you missed below, and join us for the next poll drop on Oct. 26.
The AP Top 25 was almost completely overhauled after a weekend in which nine ranked college football teams lost, including four in the top 10.
No. 1 Ohio State was the only team to hold its spot, marking the poll’s highest turnover since 2022.No. 2 Indiana improved its program-record ranking by one spot. No. 3 Texas A&M’s one-rung promotion gives the Aggies their highest ranking since 1995. No. 4 Alabama achieved its highest slot of the season and No. 5 Georgia returned to the top five after a three-week absence.
Further down in the poll, No. 10 Vanderbilt became a top-10 team in college football for the first time since 1947. And No. 7 Georgia Tech hadn’t been in the top 10 since 2014 or ranked as high since 2009.
For No. 20 LSU, No. 14 Texas Tech and No. 9 Miami, meanwhile, Saturday’s upsets caused the teams to tumble.

Here are the top games to watch next week:
No. 3 Texas A&M (7-0) at No. 20 LSU (5-2): Texas A&M is marching toward a potential berth in the SEC championship game and doesn’t want to stumble, but this matchup is on the road against a highly motivated opponent.No. 8 Mississippi (6-1) at No. 13 Oklahoma (6-1): Each of these SEC teams is eager to avoid a second loss and both are looking to burnish their resumes for a shot at the SEC title and a College Football Playoff spot.No. 10 Vanderbilt (6-1) vs. No. 15 Missouri (6-1): Vandy is the talk of college football after cracking the top 10 for the first time in almost eight decades. Next weekend, they’ll have home field advantage against a somewhat overlooked Missouri team whose only loss — like Vandy — came at the hands of Alabama.
