AP Top 25: Texas keeps No. 1 ranking ahead of Georgia visit; Oregon moves up to No. 2
Oregon moved up to No. 2 behind top-ranked Texas in the AP Top 25 college football poll Sunday after their dramatic win against Ohio State.
The Ducks jumped a spot after beating Ohio State 32-31 in a thriller at Autzen Stadium on Saturday night for their highest ranking since finishing the 2014 season at No. 2. The fourth-ranked Buckeyes’ first loss of the season cost them only two spots, as they also fell behind Penn State, which moved up to No. 3 after beating USC in overtime.
Texas received 56 first-place votes after blowing out Oklahoma, while Oregon had six. The Longhorns’ hold on No. 1 will be on the line next Saturday night when No. 5 Georgia visits Austin in another top-five matchup in the SEC. It’s the third AP top-five matchup in four weeks.
The biggest mover is LSU, which jumped five spots to No. 8 after beating Ole Miss, which plummeted nine spots to No. 18. The Tigers have won five games in a row since their opening loss to USC. Undefeated Iowa State also cracked the top 10 at No. 9 after a win at West Virginia.
Tennessee dropped three spots despite winning, slipping to No. 11 after needing overtime to beat Florida.

In and out
Oklahoma fell out of the rankings for the first time since 2022 after the Sooners were routed by Texas in the Red River Rivalry. Utah is also out of the rankings for the first time this season after the Utes lost their second consecutive game on Friday night to Arizona State.
In their spots are undefeated Army (No. 23) and Navy (No. 25). It’s the first poll the Black Knights and Midshipmen have appeared in together since 1960. Vanderbilt just missed after its wins against Alabama and Kentucky, as it’s the first team out.
Why I voted Oregon No. 1
Most of my adjustments this week were relatively subtle, with moves of one or two places for much of the top 20. I did, however, decide to vote for another new No. 1: Welcome to the top of my ballot, Oregon.
Yes, it feels odd to move a team like Texas down after the Longhorns beat their rival by 31 points, but the decision was much more about giving Oregon the respect it deserves for notching what could be the best win of the season so far against Ohio State, which I dropped only one spot to No. 3. Plus, the Ducks also have a win against a Boise State team I have ranked 11th behind Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Jeanty. The Ducks have the best combination of talent and resume.
Of course, if Texas beats Georgia next week, I’ll likely make another swap at the top of my rankings. — Matt Brown, college sports managing editor
Does Penn State deserve to be No. 3?
The Nittany Lions have their best ranking since reaching No. 2 in 2017, but it feels like they are more the beneficiary of the results of other big games than truly worthy of that lofty ranking.
Penn State is only 23 points ahead of No. 4 Ohio State, so it’s not as if voters went flocking to the Nittany Lions.
To be clear, Penn State has done good work against respectable opposition. Especially when you take into consideration road games at West Virginia and USC and a thorough handling of Illinois.
Voters are rewarding the unbeaten record, but it feels like a stretch to make the case that the Nittany Lions are actually better than Ohio State and Georgia, with their narrow and dramatic losses to Oregon and Alabama, respectively.
And if voters are deferring to the zero in the loss column, a similar case can be made for Miami ahead of the Buckeyes and Bulldogs.
Of course, Penn State will get its chance to prove it on the field in a few weeks at home against the Buckeyes, who they have not beaten since 2016. — Ralph Russo, college sports senior writer
What’s next in Week 8?
No. 5 Georgia visiting No. 1 Texas is the headliner, and it’s the first time the Longhorns have hosted a matchup of two AP top-five teams since a loss to Ohio State in September 2006. The SEC has a pair of high-profile matchups, as No. 7 Alabama will visit No. 11 Tennessee in a game between two one-loss teams that have been on shaky ground the past couple of weeks.
The other ranked matchup is No. 24 Michigan at No. 22 Illinois, though also keep an eye on Nebraska going to undefeated No. 16 Indiana in the Big Ten.
Oregon, meanwhile, will try to avoid a hangover on Friday night at Purdue. Penn State and Ohio State are both idle.

Police detained dozens of people as crowds gathered across the French capital following PSG’s victory.
Large crowds gathered near the Arc de Triomphe after the match, with some fans setting off flares and blaring car horns, according to reports from The Associated Press.

Transgender Jurupa Valley senior AB Hernandez wins state track medal amid muted protest
CLOVIS — Jurupa Valley senior AB Hernandez placed third in the CIF state championship long jump on Saturday, medaling in the event for the second consecutive year.
Hernandez, who is transgender, has faced harassment and ire from anti-trans protesters and conservative pundits during the past two years. She jumped 20 feet, 2 1/4 inches on Saturday, behind first-place finisher Ellie McCuskey-Hay of St. Ignatius (20-3½) and Gianna Gonzalez of Moorpark (20-3½).
Under CIF policy, transgender athletes who place at the state championships receive medals but do not displace cisgender girls in the final standings. The federation announced last year that the policy would apply specifically to the long jump, triple jump and high jump — the three events Hernandez competed in — and the rule remained in effect for her three events this weekend.
Hernandez shared her third-place podium with St. Mary’s Berkeley jumper Corrine Jones, who reached 19-9 ½.
Hernandez secured her place in Saturday’s finals on her opening long jump attempt Friday, posting a mark strong enough to hold the top qualifying position. She passed on her remaining two attempts after safely locking up advancement.
The atmosphere surrounding the state championships was notably calmer than a year ago, when demonstrations over Hernandez’s participation drew national attention. On Friday, the most visible protest activity came before the meet, when Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton held a news conference outside Veterans Memorial Stadium, noting that the primary election was just four days away.
Standing before signs reading “Hey, CIF: Girls’ Sports Girls Only” on Friday, Hilton criticized the California Interscholastic Federation’s policies governing transgender athletes.
On Saturday, the Rainbow Families Action group hosted a news conference outside in support of Hernandez. Counter-protesters showed up toward the end and shouted toward the Hernandez supporters and the two sides exchanged some words before dispersing.
Inside the stadium, however, the focus largely remained on the competition. Spectators cheered as Hernandez began her long-jump approach, and some fans wore bracelets bearing the message “We Stand With AB.”
Event organizers prohibited signs inside the venue. Unlike last year, when advocacy groups on both sides staged more visible demonstrations, the off-track theatrics were largely absent.
Meanwhile, Democrat Tom Steyer released a video on X on Friday featuring a previous conversation with Hernandez, in which he expressed support for her participation in high school athletics.
The 17-year-old arrived in Clovis after sweeping all three of her events at the Southern Section championships.
Entering the state meet, Hernandez ranked among the nation’s top 10 performers in all three events. She shared California’s best high jump mark, was tied for second in the long jump and ranked second in the triple jump. She will compete in the high jump and triple jump later Saturday.

Dispatch audio reveals what was heard inside Josh Jacobs’ home before alleged domestic violence arrest
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Released dispatch audio has added some context to the alleged domestic violence incident involving Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, one of which came from inside his Wisconsin residence.
The audio, obtained by TMJ 4, reveals a dispatcher speaking with a police officer about the “yelling and screaming” she could hear on an open line within Jacobs’ home.
“Things being thrown, open line,” the dispatcher tells the officer. “…Possibly a male and female.”

Then, a second call’s audio was added, as a dispatcher describes a neighbor calling about what they can hear from Jacobs’ home.
“The neighbor is calling now, saying that her neighbor was assaulted,” dispatch called out.

When authorities arrived at Jacobs’ residence, he wasn’t there. He left the scene in his Mercedes G-Wagon, though police tracked his license plate readers. A call went out to stop the vehicle if it was seen on the road.
Jacobs was arrested on Tuesday following an investigation by the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department, and he was booked on five domestic abuse-related charges.
The department said in the statement that Jacobs was booked into Brown County Jail on charges of domestic abuse battery, domestic abuse criminal damage to property, domestic abuse disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. According to Brown County Jail records, strangulation and suffocation is a felony, while the other four are misdemeanors.

The investigation remains active and ongoing, the statement added.
Jacobs’ attorneys, David Z. Chesnoff and Clarence Duchac, say the 28-year-old denies all charges.
“Josh vehemently denies the allegations, and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with important evidence that has not yet been made public,” the attorneys’ statement read.
“We ask for fairness and restraint while the judicial process takes its course.”
The NFL was made aware of the situation and has contacted the Packers. Green Bay also told The Athletic that it wouldn’t make comment due to the ongoing investigation on the matter.

Jacobs finished his second season with the Packers, tallying 929 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 1,234 carries in 2025. In 2024, he racked up 1,329 yards on 301 attempts with 15 touchdowns to lead the way for the Packers’ ground game in his inaugural season up north.
Jacobs, who spent five seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders prior to his time in Green Bay, has led the league in the past with rushing yards. His 2022 campaign saw 1,653 yards and 12 touchdowns across a full 17-game slate.
