AP Top 25 poll: Miami takes over at No. 1, BYU surges to No. 2 in college football rankings - CBS Sports
The AP Top 25 college football poll has undergone a major shakeup after five of the top eight teams lost on the same Saturday. The Miami Hurricanes have ascended to the No. 1 spot, while the Big 12 conference has seen a significant rise in its representation within the top 10.
Why it matters
This shift reflects the high volatility and competitive parity currently defining the college football season, impacting rankings and postseason projections.
The wildest Saturday in college football history led to a significant shakeup in the weekly Associated Press Top 25 poll.
When five of the eight top-ranked teams all lost on the same day -- the first time in AP poll history -- it guaranteed a new-look top 10.
The undefeated Miami Hurricanes are the new No. 1 team in the country, receiving 40 first-place votes. The Hurricanes, atop the AP poll for the first time since 2002, jumped last week's No. 1 Georgia , which slipped to No. 5 after a last-second home loss to unranked Auburn .
