Miami moved back to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday, while Texas and Penn State — the preseason Nos. 1 and 2, respectively — fell all the way out of the Top 25 for the first time since 2022 after losses to unranked opponents.
No. 1 Ohio State was dominant in its win over Minnesota, but its 40 first-place votes were its fewest since ascending to the top spot five weeks ago. The Hurricanes, who moved ahead of idle Oregon, went from receiving four first-place votes last week to 21 this week after winning at Florida State.
The Buckeyes’ 40 first-place votes are fewest for a No. 1 team since Alabama also got 40 in the Sept. 29, 2024, poll.
