- Ohio State, previously holding 50 first-place votes, has now lost three straight games against Power Four teams and dropped to No. 6 in the rankings.
- Major upsets by Oklahoma State over Oregon and Michigan over Oklahoma caused significant shifts in the top 10, with Oregon falling 12 spots to No. 18 and Oklahoma dropping to No. 21.
- The top five teams are Texas, Georgia, Notre Dame, Indiana, and Miami, with six teams receiving first-place votes, including LSU at No. 7; Ohio State did not receive any first-place votes this week.
