- Georgia is projected to reclaim No. 1 in the AP Top 25 after a wire-to-wire win at Ole Miss; its only loss remains the previous upset to Auburn.
- Utah is projected at No. 2 and remains 9-0 after a 28-20 win over BYU, with one AP voter already placing the Utes atop its ballot before Week 10.
- Notre Dame is projected at No. 3 after its 31-24 win over Miami, a one-place move from No. 4 even though the CFP committee had the Fighting Irish at No. 11.
- UCLA is projected at No. 4 after improving to 9-0 with a win at Minnesota; Ty Dieffenbach threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns on eight completions, including 75- and 75-yard passes.
- Alabama is projected to rise from No. 9 to No. 6 after a 31-13 win at LSU, then closed the game with a 21-0 run after LSU’s first lead.
- Tennessee is projected to jump from No. 16 to No. 9 after a 34-6 win over Kentucky, reaching 7-2 with two victories over teams ranked in the top 10 at the time.
- Oregon is projected to return to the AP Top 25 after a 41-28 win at Ohio State, with a 6-3 record and victories over USC and Boise State.
Why it matters: Notre Dame’s 31-24 win over Miami shows the limit of a résumé boost: the AP had the Fighting Irish at No. 4, leaving only one projected slot of upward movement, while the CFP committee had them at No. 11. That seven-position gap means a No. 3 AP projection does not represent a comparable playoff ranking.
