The 2026 college football season is in full swing, and a chaotic week of action is set to lead to several shakeups at the top of the rankings. No. 1 Texas, No. 6 Alabama, and No. 10 LSU all suffered losses on Saturday, marking only the third time that three top-10 SEC teams lost on the same day.

With a wild weekend behind us, it is time to check out the latest AP Top 25 rankings. As you may expect, there is a new No. 1, and plenty of movement from top to bottom.

Georgia is the new No. 1 team in the country, receiving 66 of a possible 70 first-place votes, followed by Notre Dame and Miami. Ohio State and Indiana round out the top five.

The Associated Press rankings carry more weight than polls like the Coaches Poll and FWAA Poll, as they are part of the deciding factor in which teams reach the College Football Playoff. The Coaches Poll, which is not part of the College Football Playoff selection committee’s formula to determine the four teams that will compete for the College Football Playoff National Championship, is voted on by 65 FBS head coaches.

The Associated Press began its college football poll on Oct. 19, 1936, and it is now the longest-running poll of those that award national titles at the end of the season. The preseason poll was started in 1950.
