- Florida is projected to jump from No. 21 to No. 5 after a 52-28 win over No. 4 Ole Miss, marking the program's first top-10 AP ranking since September 2021 and the headline change of Week 4.
- Jadan Baugh rushed for 142 yards and 3 touchdowns in the signature win for first-year coach Jon Sumrall, continuing to build his Heisman Trophy case as Florida improved to 4-0.
- Penn State and Louisville both lost at home to unranked opponents in Week 4, dropping out of the projected AP Top 25 and removing two preseason-ranked teams from the playoff conversation.
- Oregon earned a road win at USC despite a scary injury to QB Dante Moore, climbing to No. 16 in the projection after one of its better performances of the season.
- Texas holds the No. 1 spot after surviving Tennessee by a field goal, collecting 58 of 69 first-place votes despite a far-from-flawless performance in the SEC road test.
- Iowa won at Michigan for the first time in 24 years, capped by a 91-yard touchdown drive, and is projected to climb to No. 14 in the rankings.
- Jeremiah Smith posted career-high 4 touchdown receptions for Ohio State, tying David Boston for second-most career receiving TDs (34) in school history as the Buckeyes held steady at No. 7.
Why it matters: Florida's leap from No. 21 to No. 5 — the biggest single-week rise in the projection — instantly repositions the 4-0 Gators as SEC title contenders under Year-1 coach Jon Sumrall, with the source noting they may now pass reigning national champion Indiana inside the top 10. Penn State and Louisville's home losses remove two preseason playoff hopefuls, while Oregon's road win and Iowa's first Michigan victory in 24 years inject fresh resumes into the top 15.
