In the October 6, 2025 AP Top 25 college football poll, Ohio State remains No. 1 after a dominant win over Minnesota, while Miami (Fla.) rose to No. 2 after defeating Florida State, overtaking idle Oregon. Penn State and Texas fell out of the rankings for the first time since 2022 following losses to unranked opponents—Penn State to UCLA and Texas to Florida. Oregon dropped to No. 3, and several teams, including Memphis, South Florida, and Texas Tech, entered or climbed the rankings. The changes reflect a shifting landscape driven by upsets and strong performances.
