Here it is:
1) Alabama
2) Georgia
3) Ohio State
4) Oklahoma
5) Texas A&M
6) Clemson
7) Cincinnati
8) Notre Dame
9) Iowa State
10) Iowa
11) Penn State
12) Oregon
13) Florida
14) USC
15) Texas
16) UCLA
17) Coastal Carolina
18) Wisconsin
19) Virginia Tech
20) Ole Miss
21) Utah
22) Miami
23) Arizona State
24) North Carolina
25) Auburn
Among the big news is Georgia's ascent all the way from No. 5 in the preseason to No. 2, following their largely dominant win over Clemson. The Tigers fell from just No. 3 to No. 6, a clear sign of respect to just how good the Dawgs are, and of course also a credit to the Tigers for even scheduling the game to begin with.
In terms of other big movers, well, UCLA was the clear winner here, as they went from unranked to No. 16, following their victory over LSU. Penn State also jumped eight spots from No. 19 to No. 11, while Iowa went from No. 18 to No. 10, following a dominant victory over Indiana.
In addition to UCLA, Virginia Tech also made its debut in the Top 25, as did Ole Miss after their dominating victory over Louisville, with Auburn also making its first appearance of the season. LSU, Indiana, Washington and Louisiana all dropped out following losses last week.
Looking ahead to this coming weekend, we will have a pair of Top 15 matchups highlighting the slate:
No. 12 Oregon will play at No. 3 Ohio State, Saturday at noon ET, while No. 9 Iowa State will host cross-state rival, No. 10 Iowa.
There are no other Top 25 matchups on the slate.
