AP Top 25 shake-up looms after Oregon’s scare and LSU’s blowout, Michigan's miracle
Week 1’s upsets and close calls could prompt major movement, with Oregon, LSU and Michigan all facing scrutiny from 69 AP voters.
- LSU Tigers coach Lane Kiffin debuted with a dominant 51-10 victory over Clemson, outgaining the opponent 644 to 145 and propelling the team into the top 10 ahead of Tuesday's poll.
- Michigan's narrow 13-12 escape against Western Michigan, decided by one second restored to the clock at game's end, created uncertainty about how the 69-person voting panel will judge the controversial victory.
- Georgia Bulldogs overwhelmed Tennessee State 63-3, outgaining them 660 to 109, while Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Trinidad Chambliss accounted for 396 of his team's 488 yards in a thriller victory over Louisville.
- The voting panel of 69 writers and broadcasters must weigh these results before the new poll arrives around 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday, reflecting the dramatic volatility across Week 1.
- Week 2 features a top matchup between Ohio State and Texas in Austin on Saturday, offering both programs a chance to solidify their positions near the poll's summit.
