There will be a new No. 1 team when The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll is released Sunday.<\/p>\n
Texas’ four-week run atop the rankings is set to end after its 27-24 loss to unranked Oklahoma and No. 2 Georgia is first in line to replace the Longhorns as the top 10 in particular faces a shuffling after three teams lost.<\/p>\n
Georgia, which had the second-most first-place votes last week, knocked off No. 6 Alabama 20-17 on the road. The Bulldogs haven’t been No. 1 since the first three polls in the 2024 season.<\/p>\n
Kentucky’s 35-34 overtime win over No. 10 LSU likely will push the Tigers out of the top 10 and return the Wildcats to Top 25 after they dropped out following a win over South Carolina last week.<\/p>\n
No. 21 UCLA, 5-0 for the first time since 2022, is poised to move up and No. 13 Oregon is set to move down after the Bruins’ 17-15 road win over the Ducks, who now have two losses.<\/p>\n
No. 16 Florida, which was No. 8 two weeks ago, could get bounced from the Top 25 altogether. The Gators lost their second straight game, 38-19 at home to a South Carolina team that had lost eight straight Southeastern Conference games.<\/p>\n
No. 25 Pittsburgh’s appearance in the poll likely will last just one week. North Carolina went on the road and beat the Panthers 21-17 for second-year coach Bill Belichick’s first win over a ranked opponent.<\/p>\n
In addition to Kentucky, idle Wisconsin and Northwestern, a 45-14 winner over Ball State, are candidates to enter the Top 25.<\/p>\n
