Miami moves to the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 after a chaotic week of results, ending a long stretch outside the top ranking. ESPN reports Miami reaches No. 1 for the first time since 2002, while CBS and Yahoo describe the latest shakeup as a consequence of upheaval throughout the rankings.
BYU rises to No. 2, its highest position since 1984, following a notable victory. CBS Sports specifically points to BYU’s win over Notre Dame as a key factor in earning voter support. Across outlets, several teams drop after ranked matchups and unexpected outcomes, leading to major movement in the top three, with Ohio State landing third in the latest ordering.
Overall, the outlets align on the central shift: Miami takes over at No. 1, BYU is close behind at No. 2, and the rest of the top 10 reshuffles after a week marked by upsets and high-profile games.
