College football is entering one of its most exciting stretches as teams head into Week 11. At this point in the season, every win matters, and there's a lot less room for mistakes. Teams are fighting to improve their records, strengthen their playoff hopes and make a statement before the regular season winds down.
That's also why the rankings are becoming such a big part of the conversation. One strong performance can send a team climbing, while a disappointing loss can quickly change its position. With several weeks still left to play, the latest rankings offer lots to watch as the race for the top spots gets more intense.
The AP has released its latest AP Top 25 poll results, and it's packed with movement. Looking at this past weekend's games, Oklahoma State made one of the biggest statements after its blowout 66-28 win over Kansas State. But that wasn't the game that got the most attention.
Notre Dame also beat Miami in a massive game on Saturday, and that pushed Miami out of the No. 1 spot. The Fighting Irish built a 24-3 lead before holding off Miami's second-half comeback for a 31-24 victory. Quarterback CJ Carr tossed for 319 yards and three touchdowns during the game, handing the Hurricanes their first loss of the season.
The big news is that with Miami losing, Georgia took the No. 1 spot for the second time this season. The Bulldogs pulled off a big 42-7 victory at Ole Miss on Saturday. There's lots of action, so let's get into the brand-new AP Top 25 poll.
