Texas and other top programs shift positions in projected college football rankings

Texas moves into the No. 1 spot in the projected AP Top 25 college football poll following a 24-23 victory over Ohio State. The outcome hinged on a late-game performance where Ohio State surrendered 21 points in the fourth quarter. This result, combined with Oregon's loss to Oklahoma State, creates significant movement within the top-ranked teams heading into Week 3. Georgia follows at No. 2, with Notre Dame, Indiana, and Miami rounding out the top five. Ohio State drops to No. 6 after the defeat, while Mississippi, Texas A&M, and Alabama remain in the lower portion of the top 10. These projections reflect the updated standing of teams as they prepare for the third week of the season.
