Georgia set to replace Texas at top of college football rankings

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 11:48 · Archive

Georgia is poised to become the new number one team in the AP college football poll after Texas lost to Oklahoma.

Georgia is set to replace Texas at the top of the Associated Press college football rankings when the poll is released on Sunday. Texas held the position for four weeks before losing 27-24 to unranked Oklahoma. Georgia achieved the ranking by defeating number six Alabama 20-17 away from home, having last been number one in the first three polls of the 2024 season.

Several other ranked teams fell this week. Kentucky's 35-34 overtime victory over number ten LSU will likely push the Tigers out of the top ten and return Kentucky to the rankings after they had dropped out. Number 21 UCLA, undefeated for the first time since 2022, is poised to move up after a 17-15 road win over number 13 Oregon, who now have two losses. Number 16 Florida is in danger of leaving the top 25 altogether after losing their second consecutive game, 38-19 at home to South Carolina.

Number 25 Pittsburgh is likely to fall out of the poll after just one week of inclusion, having lost 21-17 to North Carolina on the road. That victory marked the first win over a ranked opponent for North Carolina's second-year coach Bill Belichick.
