Washington dominates Oregon State on the road to surpass Florida State in latest victory

The final week of the college football regular season saw some significant changes in the top five of the Associated Press Top 25 poll. Georgia remains at the No. 1 spot, receiving 61 of the 62 first-place votes after a convincing win over Tennessee. The latest CFP rankings revealed a flip in positions for Ohio State and Michigan, who are now at No. 2 and 3 respectively. Washington moved up to No. 4 after a close win against Oregon State, while Florida State dropped to No. 5 due to the loss of starting quarterback Jordan Travis.

Elsewhere, no major shifts were observed in the positions of No. 6 Oregon, No. 7 Texas, No. 8 Alabama, and No. 9 Louisville. However, Missouri moved up to No. 10 after a dramatic last-second win over Florida. Oregon State, previously at No. 10, fell to No. 15 after their narrow defeat. This allowed No. 11 Penn State, No. 12 Ole Miss, No. 13 Oklahoma, and No. 14 LSU to move up by one position.

Several other teams also saw movement in the AP poll, including No. 16 Arizona (up from No. 19), No. 17 Notre Dame (up from No. 20), No. 19 Kansas State (up from No. 23), No. 21 Oklahoma State (up from No. 24), and No. 22 Liberty (up from No. 25).

No. 20 Iowa made a return to the rankings, while No. 23 Toledo secured a spot for the first time since 2015 after remaining undefeated. In contrast, James Madison fell from No. 18 to No. 24 following their first loss of the season.
