New rankings are up!! How far did the mighty (Penn State, Texas, Florida State) fall? Can 5-0 Navy finally get some AP love? And did Massachusetts break into the top 25 after keeping it close against Western Michigan? Let's find out!!

Biggest Gain: A whole bunch o' teams gained 5 spots in the middle of the rankings. Missouri, Michigan, Notre Dame, Illinois, BYU, Virginia all gained 5 spots to #'s 14 through 19. If we look at "Others" then Memphis gained 6 spots from #29 to #23.

Biggest Loss: I needed to break out a calculator for this one. In the top 25, Iowa State fell 8 to #22 and Florida State fell 7 to cling to #25. Looking out to "Others" Texas fell 18 spots to #27 but your big loser is Penn State who fell 21 spots to #28. Ouch!

Best result for a loser: The "best" result for a team that lost was Vandy, who slips 4 spots to #20 after losing to the now-ranked #8 Crimson Tide.

Worst results for a winner: Oklahoma beat Kent State 44-0, and fell 1 spot in the process to #6. Also notable is Oregon who fell 1 spot after having a bye as they swap spots with Miami, who is now the #2 team in the nation. And if you look waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in "Others", we see Navy show up at #37. In a strange quirk of fate, only 35 teams received votes last week so essentially Navy was in a 100 way tie for #36 last week and dropped a spot. And Auburn shows up at #39 after receiving a single vote this week after a bye when they didn't get one last week.

As predicted both Penn St and Texas no longer ranked..

Boy as long as Tennessee gets by Arkansas at home this weekend...the always looming Bama game could be BIG

Also...surprises so far..Ga Tech...sneaky sneaky undefeated and looming around the top 10

the mesiah · 10-05-2025, 02:18 PM

Would have been nice to have that bama /missouri game at night for a full slate of watchable games ,.

don't underestimate the Ga/Aub game in Auburn at night. Could end up being a trap game for Georgia who is feeling good coming off Kentucky and moving back into the top 10. They lose 1 more game and they will be joining Texas, Penn St. and Florida St.

SEC still wide open...

Ole Miss, Missouri, TAMU, OU..technically Bama unbeaten in conference

GA, Vandy, LSU, Tenn 1 loss

My favorite computer ranking, the Colley Bias Free Matrix, put them at #76 after this weekend.

FYI: There are rumblings in Chestnut Hill that Bill O'Brien and Penn State may be interested in each other.... I am not 100% sold on that notion but I definitely think it is intriguing enough to mention....

Frames Janklin may have finally outlived his welcome? That would be interesting. Like you, I'm not sold on B'OB but at this point I can appreciate that PSU fans are ready for a change.

The thing about Small Games James (can I still call him that after UCLA?) is that, if we’re being fair, he’s not an atrocious coach. They made the playoffs last year and PSU is no stranger to the top 10.

He just is completely incapable of taking that step into the realm of championship contender, a realm Penn State has not visited in quite some time.

The following tweet is making the rounds:

Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signalled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media

Shocking. Shocking I say

It was a stupid idea from the get

Truly. Landing isn't going to be another team. A team like the Dolphins want to get him? He isn't a long term answer. I can see media somewhere. He will get eyeballs.

It was such a wild concept to start with. Let’s ignore the Super Bowls… we all agree he was still a really good NFL coach

What really good NFL coach picks a random ass college team that no one cares about? Does he still have Ronald Curry and Dre Bly?

He should have gone the Matt Patricia route. Take a DC job. Don’t say it’s “beneath you” and just say you dominate because you “love Football”

It would have been an awesome story

Then you figure out if you really want to Coach again as a HC

99.9% of BO don’t know how good he was ..blast from the past!

Media? I always love how guys who were anti-media in their day sell their soul to do the gig when washed. Money talks.

You would think this is the opportunity for media payback, persona non grata

Crazy to see Texas -1.5 over OU today ,. Even with or without Mateer with a broke thumb
