Arizona State football just outside AP Top 25 after win
Following a win over then-No. 16 Utah, Arizona State football almost has its first appearance in The Associated Press’ Top 25 under Kenny Dillingham.
The win on Friday kicked the Utes out of the poll, who received seven points among others receiving votes to ASU’s 39. Only Vanderbilt (68) and Nebraska (62) are ahead on the outside looking in.
The Sun Devils earned the second-most votes among those outside the poll in the Coaches Poll, while Utah was knocked down to two spots below them.
ASU is 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12 with a 9 a.m. road matchup with Cincinnati on the docket for a chance to secure the program’s first bowl-eligible season since 2021.
The conference has three teams ranked in the AP poll between No. 9 Iowa State, No. 13 BYU and No. 17 Kansas State. The Sun Devils play Kansas State and BYU in the two weeks leading up to the Territorial Cup against Arizona, which did not receive votes after falling to 3-3 after a loss to the Cougars.
Texas Tech, who is responsible for the Sun Devils’ only loss thus far, collected 18 votes to be the closest Big 12 team behind the Sun Devils.
Oregon and Penn State move on up
Oregon and Penn State each moved up a spot following thrilling wins in high-profile games, and Top 25 newcomers Navy and Army are in the rankings together for the first time since 1960.
Texas strengthened its hold on No. 1 with its 31-point victory over Oklahoma. The Longhorns received 56 of 62 first-place votes, four more than last week and their most since they were a unanimous No. 1 in October 2008.
Oregon’s 32-31 home win over Ohio State featured seven lead changes and moved the Ducks to No. 2 with the other six first-place votes. It’s their highest ranking since they ended the 2014 season at No. 2 after losing to the Buckeyes in the inaugural College Football Playoff championship game.
Penn State rose to No. 3 with a 33-30 overtime win at Southern California, the Nittany Lions’ highest ranking in seven years.
Penn State-USC was one of four games involving AP Top 25 teams that went to OT on Saturday, including three in the top 10.
Ohio State dropped two spots to No. 4 and Georgia remained No. 5. Miami, Alabama, LSU, Iowa State and Clemson rounded out the top 10.
Army, which beat UAB 44-10, and Navy, which was idle, broke through for their first simultaneous rankings since Oct. 3, 1960.
Their coinciding appearance that season lasted just one week. Army was 3-0 and ranked No. 18 before dropping two straight games and finishing 6-3-1. Navy had entered the rankings a week earlier, at No. 17, and ended the season 9-2 and ranked No. 4.
Army (6-0) and Navy (5-0) have not each been unbeaten at this point in a season since 1945, weeks after World War II ended and in the era when service academies were powerhouses of the sport.

For the fifth time this season, the Cincinnati Bearcats will have a daytime kickoff, and for the third time boot will meet ball at noon.
After the coming bye weekend, UC is back in action at Nippert Stadium against the Arizona Wildcats. Monday, Nov. 3, the game was announced as another “Nipp at noon” to be televised on FS1.
Cincinnati Bearcats at Nippert
The Bearcats are 5-0 at home, taking a pair of noon games from then-ranked Iowa State and UCF, a pair of 3:30 starts from Bowling Green and Northwestern State and a 4 p.m. start from Baylor Oct. 25.
UC is coming off a disappointing showing at Utah, where they lost 45-14 in a game that was the equivalent of a 10:15 p.m. start in the Eastern time zone. Now, they’ll entertain Arizona from the Mountain Time Zone, meaning the kickoff for those watching in Tucson will be 10 a.m.
Still no ‘Nipp at night’ for Cincinnati Bearcats fans
Though fans enjoy the night atmosphere and teams like Utah thrive in it, UC has not had a night home game this season. The previous two seasons, they have had but three. In 2023, UC lost to the Miami RedHawks in September and to Kansas in the November season finale. Last season, they didn’t have a home night affair until the snowy season-ender vs. TCU.
After Arizona, Big 12 leader BYU is scheduled to come Nov. 22. That could be an evening possibility, but the time has yet to be released by the Big 12 and could be determined by how each team fares. BYU is at Texas Tech this weekend for ESPN College GameDay. The regular season ends in Fort Worth against TCU Nov. 29 at a time to be determined.
Cincinnati Bearcats at night under Scott Satterfield
This season, in road night games, they are 1-2 with the Nebraska loss in Kansas City, a win at Oklahoma State and the Nov. 1 defeat in Utah.
In UC’s first Big 12 campaign in 2023, they had six night games, but just two at home. They won at Pitt, lost vs. Miami University, lost at BYU, lost at Oklahoma State, won at Houston and lost vs. Kansas. That’s 2-4 overall.
Last season, it was a loss at Texas Tech, a loss at Colorado, a loss at Iowa State, a loss at Kansas State and a loss vs. TCU to put them 0-5 under lights.
Despite the popularity of football under a darkened, fall sky, the Bearcats are just 3-11 with the moon in view the past three seasons.
What about Arizona?
The Wildcats are 5-3 after crushing Colorado 52-17 Nov. 1. They are 3-3 in the Big 12 with the win over the Buffaloes and victories in Tucson over Kansas State and Oklahoma State. They lost at Iowa State, at home to BYU in double overtime and at Houston.
UC and Arizona have never met in football.

The Colorado Buffaloes’ 52-17 loss to the Arizona Wildcats at Folsom Field on Saturday evening tells a story far louder than the final score.
The low attendance of 48,223 and the steady stream of students and fans leaving by the third quarter reflects a painful reality of Colorado coach Deion Sanders’ second consecutive blowout loss.
However, in the difficult quiet of the postgame, “Coach Prime” offered the answer the program needs right now in the form of accountability.
“It’s on me. Don’t attack the coordinators. Come at me. Don’t attack the players. Come at me. It has everything to do with me,” Coach Prime stated, also confirming that no players would be available to speak after the loss.
After cycling through fellow quarterbacks Kaidon Salter and Ryan Staub, the immediate future of the offense appears to be settled. The loudest cheers of the entire evening were reserved for true freshman Julian Lewis coming into the game.
Lewis rewarded that faith quickly, delivering the first passing touchdown of his young college career with a beautiful 59-yard strike to Omarion Miller. Lewis’ poise and impressive movement in the pocket, even as the game spiraled out of control, was encouraging.
Though Lewis finished the game with an injury (forcing Dominiq Ponder in), his performance earned him the keys to the offense moving forward.
Coach Prime noted that while he isn’t sure of Lewis’ exact thoughts on the four-game redshirt limit, he was “glad he got an opportunity.”
With Lewis now positioned as the primary starter, the decision, barring injury, likely closes the door on the Salter era.
The defense, which was scorched repeatedly by explosive plays to the tune of five touchdowns of 56 yards or more in the last six quarters, suffered a massive blow with the ejection of safety Tawfiq Byard for targeting with just over eight minutes remaining.
Byard, who has consistently been the Buffs’ best defensive player, will now be forced to sit out the first half of the critical road game at West Virginia. That loss of leadership and production will be felt next week.
Veteran quarterback Kaidon Salter struggled to generate offense all night, managing just 49 yards passing on 11-of-15 attempts before being benched late in the first half. He suffered a critical strip-sack that led directly to an Arizona touchdown, continuing the turnover trend.
Staub’s brief appearance in the third quarter was equally disastrous. He was benched after both of his passes were intercepted, with one being returned 59 yards to the Colorado 17-yard line. His lack of consistency compounded the mounting problems.
With the Buffs having cycled through three quarterbacks on the night and Lewis now having taken meaningful snaps, it appears to be Lewis’ time to lead.

In a game defined by turnovers and the defense struggling, wide receiver Omarion Miller was a consistent bright spot, as he accounted for both of Colorado’s touchdowns.
He first capped off the team’s longest drive of the season with an 8-yard touchdown strike from Salter. His second score was a beautiful, momentum-generating 59-yard touchdown catch from Lewis.
Miller proved he is a reliable and explosive target who can connect with any quarterback in the system and gives the Buffs a consistent threat to build around.
With the team falling to 3-6, the challenge of finding three wins in the final three games to secure bowl eligibility seems monumental.
However, Coach Prime’s immediate and unequivocal acceptance of responsibility sets a powerful tone. His decision is a clear statement that the failures start at the top.
The final three weeks are about bowl status and defining the culture of accountability and perseverance that Coach Prime has promised. The Buffaloes need to finish strong and show a resolve and fight that matches the faith their coach places in them.
