The 2026 college football season is in full swing and another week of action is in the books, which means its time for the latest AP Top 25 poll to drop and give us an updated look at the current landscape.

The Texas Longhorns entered the weekend as the No. 1 team in the country after last weekend’s upset of top-ranked Ohio State, and they were able to make easy work of the UTSA Roadrunners, winning 30-6.

Two top 10 teams, the LSU Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies, were upset, with LSU falling to Ole Miss in Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford. Texas A&M’s loss, meanwhile, was a lot more surprising, falling to unranked Kentucky, 31-21. With the win, Ole Miss jumps four spots into the top five and lands at No. 4, while LSU falls three spots to No. 10.

Where does your favorite team stand in the updated AP poll? Below is a full look at the AP Top 25 poll following Week 3 of the 2026 season.

The Associated Press rankings carry more weight than polls like the Coaches Poll and FWAA Poll, as they are part of the deciding factor on 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.
