Michigan Falls Out of AP Top 25 After Second-Chance Hail Mary; LSU Cracks Top 10 and Oregon Slips
LSU earned five first-place votes after a 51-10 rout of Clemson, while Michigan dropped out of the AP Top 25 after a controversial win.
- On Tuesday, LSU climbed into the Associated Press Top 25 top 10 for the first time since last season, following head coach Lane Kiffin's dominant 51-10 debut victory over Clemson in Baton Rouge.
- Ohio State claimed the No. 1 spot in the latest rankings with 46 first-place votes, while defending national champion Indiana earned the second-most first-place votes among the poll's voters.
- Michigan dropped out of the Top 25 entirely despite a 13-12 victory over Western Michigan, as voters penalized the Wolverines after a controversial Hail Mary touchdown aided by an extra second on the clock.
- Head coach Kyle Whittingham said quarterback Bryce Underwood is the starter "for now," noting his position as QB1 is not "infinite," with true freshman Tommy Carr waiting as backup.
- The Wolverines have an immediate opportunity to re-enter the rankings when hosting Oklahoma this week, with a victory vaulting them back into the Top 25 in a rematch of the 2025 game the Sooners won 24-13.
