Texas rises in college football rankings after win over Ohio State
Summary

Texas is projected to claim the top spot in the AP Top 25 poll following a 21-point fourth-quarter rally to defeat Ohio State. The victory marks a significant shift in the rankings after a tumultuous second week of the college football season. While the Bulldogs of Georgia continue to dominate with high-scoring wins over Western Kentucky, other programs face uncertainty. Oregon drops out of the top eight after falling to Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma fell to Michigan in a 17-10 result. Voters now face challenges in evaluating teams like Michigan, which rebounded from an unranked status to claim a conference win. The rankings release follows a series of upsets that have complicated the national championship picture for top-tier programs.
