AP voters prepare to adjust college football rankings after Week 1 results

AP voters are evaluating shifts for the Top 25 college football poll following the first full weekend of the 2026 season. While Ohio State remains at No. 1 after a 53-point win against Ball State, Oregon faces potential movement after a narrow 34-27 win over Boise State. LSU is expected to climb into the top 10 after a blowout victory against Clemson. Alabama also anticipates a rise in the rankings following a 48-10 win against ECU, which included strong performances from Keelon Russell and Daniel Hill. Voters are delaying the full ballot update until Monday night to account for remaining games. The final rankings reset is scheduled for Tuesday.
