Texas ascended to the top of the college football rankings following a 24-23 victory over Ohio State on Saturday. Quarterback Arch Manning directed a 20-point fourth-quarter rally to overturn a double-digit deficit in Austin. While the Buckeyes controlled much of the game behind 278 passing yards from Julian Sayin, the loss dropped the team in the standings. Elsewhere, Michigan secured a 17-10 home victory against Oklahoma, and LSU remained in the rankings despite a struggling offensive performance against Louisiana Tech. Miami moved into the top 10 following a win over Florida A&M, while BYU maintained its position after defeating Arizona 28-17. Teams now look ahead to their next schedule of games as the season enters its third week.
