Texas takes No. 1 in the AP Top 25
Trending
There’s a new No. 1 team in the AP Top 25: Texas snagged the top spot after a wild win against Ohio State, giving the Longhorns their earliest No. 1 regular-season ranking since 1965.
The Buckeyes slid down five places to No. 6, leaving the top five for the first time in two seasons.
Oregon, meanwhile, plummeted 15 spots to No. 21 after a 39-31 road loss to an Oklahoma State team that had lost 21 straight against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents.
No. 19 Michigan returned to the poll thanks to a 17-10 win over then-No. 11 Oklahoma. The Wolverines had gone unranked last week, after they needed an extra second and a second-chance Hail Mary to beat Western Michigan.
The Longhorns trailed Ohio State 23-3 and looked listless and lifeless after turnovers, dropped passes and poor play for three quarters. Then came the rally to a wild 24-23 victory.
Week 3 features one of the more highly anticipated matchups of the season, with Lane Kiffin returning to Oxford as No. 7 LSU and No. 8 Ole Miss go head-to-head.
It’s a revenge game on both sides, as Pete Golding, Trinidad Chambliss and Co. look to prove they’re better off, and Kiffin and his haul of transfers seek the last word.
LSU enters the matchup as a narrow 2.5-point favorite on the road.
