Week 10 of the 2026 college football season featured a slate of high-profile matchups that reshaped the top 25. Georgia (9-0) remains No. 1 after a dominant win at Ole Miss, with Nate Frazier rushing for over 180 yards in the first half and the defense shutting down Trinidad Chambliss. Utah (9-0) moves to No. 2 following a 28-20 Holy War victory over BYU, as Devon Dampier accounted for four touchdowns. Notre Dame (8-1) holds at No. 3 after a first-half blowout of previously top-ranked Miami, though the Fighting Irish faded in the second half.
UCLA (9-0) rises to No. 4 behind a 34-20 road win at Minnesota, with transfer quarterback Ty Dieffenbach throwing for 303 yards and three touchdowns. Indiana (8-1) stays at No. 5 despite offensive concerns, while Texas (7-2) jumps to No. 6 after Arch Manning's career-best 73.7% completion rate in a 34-10 win over Missouri. Tennessee (7-2) climbs to No. 7 thanks to three explosive offensive plays and three defensive takeaways in a 20-6 victory over Kentucky. Alabama (7-2) surges to No. 8 after Keelon Russell rediscovered his form and the defense delivered its best performance in a win at LSU.
Miami (8-1) drops to No. 9 due to defensive struggles, allowing over 30 points and 400 yards per game. BYU (7-2) falls to No. 10 after a second road loss in three weeks, with quarterback Bear Bachmeier throwing five interceptions in those defeats. Other notable movers include Iowa (7-2) at No. 14 after a quality road win over Northwestern, Oregon (6-3) at No. 17 following a stunning comeback at Ohio State, and South Carolina (6-3) entering the rankings at No. 20 behind LaNorris Sellers' heroics. Ohio State (7-2) plummets to No. 21 after a defensive collapse against Oregon, while LSU (6-3) sits at No. 22 with questions about its resume strength.
