CBS Sports projects the Georgia Bulldogs will return to the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 poll released Sunday following a dominant win at Ole Miss. The Bulldogs, who previously held No. 1 for one week earlier this season, edge out unbeaten Utah for the top position after the Utes survived a 28-20 rivalry win over BYU.
Top Five Shake-Up
Notre Dame rises to No. 3 after upsetting then-No. 1 Miami, though the Fighting Irish were already No. 4 in the AP poll, limiting their upward movement. UCLA stays at No. 4 after improving to 9-0 with a road win at Minnesota, while Miami drops to No. 5 despite a close loss on the road.
Big Movers and New Entrants
Alabama jumps to No. 6 after a 31-13 victory at LSU, and Tennessee makes a significant leap to No. 9 following a 34-6 win over Kentucky combined with Alabama's result. Oregon re-enters the rankings at No. 15 after a 41-28 win at Ohio State, and SMU debuts at No. 25 after a 51-28 rout of Virginia Tech. Missouri and Florida are projected to fall out of the top 25.
Other notable projected rankings include Texas Tech at No. 10, Wake Forest at No. 11, BYU at No. 12, Kentucky at No. 13, and Houston at No. 14. Ohio State falls to No. 17 after losing to Oregon, while LSU sits at No. 24 with three losses.
