NCAA College Football Rankings: AP Top 25 Football Poll

The official page for the AP Top 25 college football poll, a tradition since 1936. Keep up to date and view the latest ranking updates each week.

Bizarrely, I have zero issues with this list. I think they got it pretty much right.

Fascinating.

Clearly doesn’t matter all THAT much on September 2…but I would penalize Texas and Clemson a lot more. I don’t care who they were playing against, those were some anemic offensive outputs given how much build up they both had as supposed offensive juggernauts.

I’m surprised that FSU didn’t move at all after walloping Bama. Do the Carolina Bills drop into the bottom ten?

They were unranked prior to Saturday's game. This is their debut in the poll.

Miami - No. 5 - Nice win over ND, but - 9/11/21 - OBD 35 - Ohio State 28

Including putting Joe Moorhead in the hospital, and a choke job at ASU, Mario failed to put the icing on what should have been a spot in the PO.

Will we see a redux of a late 2024 Miami at Syracuse choke?

You’re right my bad. Still some what shocking that they didn’t vault into the top ten which is usually the reward for beating a top ten SEC team.

Coaches poll had Oregon at No. 5, so we had THREE B1G teams in the top five? Cool! (Paul isn't going to like that!)

I'm hopeful they choke against FSU and the Gators, too. I figured they would haven't have to take the steps and as anticipated, be given an elevator lift to a spot above OBD. If I am not mistaken, I think they went 3 and out on 4 or 5 straight possessions in the second half of that game against ND. Plus, I think ND was way overrated to start. They really struggled and Miami did beat them, but it was not an impressive win.

Oh yeah, and don't get me started on Joe Moorehead going MIA in Palo Alto, and Mario's abrupt exit stage left.

Miami has a front loaded schedule with Florida, FSU and Louisville back to back to back (with a bye in between each one). However, they play six straight to end the season with road games at SMU, VA Tech and Pitt. There is ample opportunity for Mario to go off the rails this season.

Personally, I don't think there is a clear No.1 just yet. There might not be a clear NO.1 for the entire season.

Though I suppose Ohio State has the best win at the moment. We don't know how good or bad Ohio State and Texas are at this point but we do know they have talent.

Oregon looked great and they played what looks like a good team in Montana State, however, they are not an FBS school though I am sure they could beat any of the FBS bottom feeders. We saw a MSU team that was pretty disciplined and well coached on the field but was greatly out classed in terms of talent.

Oregon feels like a top 5 team but frankly it doesn't matter. Give all this enough time and it will work itself out.

Other thoughts...

I think LSU is too high they get a lot of credit for beating Clemson but I think Clemson was overrated as it was as well.

Miami and Notre Dame both have lots of talent and are certainly top 15 teams but not so sure on top 10.

Granted... I don't think there are many true top 10 teams right now. We are still quite early in the whole process.

I've debated the importance of polls in my head. If the polls were eliminated I wonder how we would get a top 25 or more importantly top 12 when it comes time to seed the playoffs. For example how would we pick the number three or four teams from the multi bid leagues?

I think we’ll get an idea about a few of these teams after week 3. LSU is going to be tested against Florida and I wouldn’t be surprised if they lose. Miami has USF, Clemson has Ga. Tech and Notre Dame has A&M. Those should all be good tests.
