- Georgia claimed No. 1 with 60 of 74 first-place votes after beating Alabama 20-17 on the road, edging Notre Dame, Miami and Indiana for the top spot
- Texas dropped five spots to No. 6 after a 27-24 Red River loss to Oklahoma, its second multi-spot tumble of the season
- Alabama held steady at No. 7, one spot behind Texas, despite falling 20-17 at home to Georgia
- LSU slipped to No. 21 at 4-2 after an overtime loss at Kentucky, just outside the top 20 after an ugly road result
- UCLA surged 10 spots to No. 12 (now 5-0) after edging Oregon 17-15, while the Ducks tumbled 12 spots to No. 25 at 3-2
- Kentucky jumped from No. 25 to No. 17 at 4-1, and Boise State (No. 24), Wake Forest (No. 23) and Oklahoma State (No. 20) entered the poll while Florida, Duke and Pittsburgh dropped out
Why it matters: Georgia's takeover at No. 1 — fueled by 60 of 74 first-place votes — combined with Texas's five-spot free-fall to No. 6 reshapes the top tier after the Red River upset, with Ohio State also picking up a first-place vote and LSU now stuck at 4-2 just outside the top 20.
