Oregon football fell from No. 12 to No. 13 in the AP Top 25 Poll following their 61-28 win over Georgia State.
With Jeff Lockie running the offense instead of injured Vernon Adams Jr., the Ducks moved the ball on offense with relative ease. On defense, however, the secondary struggled to contain quarterback Nick Arbuckle, who completed 25 passes for 318 yards, three touchdowns and two picks.
Two Big Ten teams rank No. 1 and No. 2 in the poll for the first time since 2006. Ohio State lost a few first-place votes following its lackluster victory over Northern Illinois, but remained on top with 42 votes. Second-ranked Michigan State received seven first place votes after a win over Air Force and a win against then No. 7 Oregon the week before.
Ole Miss jumped from No. 15 to No. 3 following its shocking defeat over No. 2 Alabama. The Rebels received 11 first-place votes. The Tide, the highest ranked team with a loss, fell to No. 12.
