AP Top 25: SEC grabs six of the first seven spots in rankings as Notre Dame tumbles to No. 18
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! After the first shake-up of the college football season, the Southeastern Conference grabbed six of the top seven spots in the AP Top 25 — a first in the 88-year history of the rankings — and Notre Dame tumbled all the way to No. Notre Dame’s 16-14 loss to Northern Illinois marked the first time a top-five team lost to an unranked team since the 2022 season, when Purdue knocked off then-No. Poll points Northern Illinois is one of four teams to move into the rankings this week for the first time this season, most notably Nebraska at No. Last week, Georgia Tech made its first appearance in the AP Top 25 since 2015, snapping one of the longest active droughts among power conference teams.
