A look at the new Top 25 after Week 10.
It was a wild week in the ACC with the two highest-ranked teams in the conference losing to unranked opponents. No. 10 Miami fell to SMU in overtime to put their playoff hopes in jeopardy while Georgia Tech lost their first game of the season in a shootout to NC State. Meanwhile, Texas notched its first big win of the season against No. 9 Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma beat No. 14 Tennessee. Utah blew out No. 17 Cincinnati, handing the Bearcats their first conference loss of the season. There wasn’t much drama in the top 5, with Alabama and Texas A&M idle, but Georgia did manage to squeak out a win over rudderless Florida.
What does it all mean for the AP Top 25? Let’s break down the rankings.
