After taking down top-ranked Ohio State, Texas football is the new No. 1 team in AP poll

Texas football has ascended to the top of the AP poll following their 24-23 victory over top-ranked Ohio State. The Longhorns' improbable comeback secured their position as the new No. 1 team, moving them up three spots in the rankings. Ohio State's loss dropped them to sixth in the poll. Georgia, who dominated Tennessee State 63-3, sits at No. 2 in the standings.

Among the top five teams in the poll, six are from the Southeastern Conference, alongside Notre Dame, Indiana, Miami, and the Buckeyes. Notably, Oregon and Oklahoma saw significant drops in the rankings; Oregon fell from No. 6 to No. 7 after losing to Oregon State 39-31, while Oklahoma dropped from No. 11 to No. 13 after a narrow 17-10 loss to unranked Michigan. Texas faces Tennessee in their final SEC game before the season concludes.
