Georgia Is in Line to Replace Texas at No. 1 in AP Poll; LSU Likely to Fall Out of Top 10
Georgia moved back to No. 1 for the first time since 2024 after a 20-17 win over Alabama and Texas’ upset loss to Oklahoma, voters said.
On Sunday, the Georgia Bulldogs ascended to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll, receiving 66 first-place votes following a hard-fought 20-17 victory at Alabama on Saturday.
Texas surrendered its top ranking after suffering a 27-24 upset loss to unranked Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry on Saturday, decided by a last-second field goal.
Quarterback Arch Manning threw two interceptions as systemic failures hampered the Longhorns' offense. "I think we beat ourselves a lot tonight," Manning said.
UCLA improved to 5-0 with a 17-15 road victory over Oregon in a messy game where the Ducks committed seven turnovers, causing them to fall in the new rankings.
Despite the defeat, resume analysis suggests Texas remains a strong College Football Playoff contender, though the Longhorns face a daunting stretch with four of their next five games against ranked opponents.
