Overview

• Ohio State stayed No. 1 with 50 first-place votes and Miami held No. 2 with 13, while Indiana reached a program-best No. 3 with three first-place votes in the Week 8 AP poll.
• Indiana’s 30-20 victory in Eugene snapped Oregon’s 18-game home regular-season win streak at Autzen Stadium and dropped the Ducks to No. 8.
• Oklahoma fell eight spots to No. 14 after a 23-6 Red River loss in which the Sooners failed to score an offensive touchdown and quarterback John Mateer threw three interceptions.
• Five teams re-entered the AP Top 25—USC (No. 20), Texas (No. 21), Utah (No. 23), Cincinnati (No. 24) and Nebraska (No. 25)—following eight losses by ranked teams, the heaviest regular-season turnover since October 2022.
• The US LBM Coaches Poll reflected similar movement with Indiana at No. 3 and Oklahoma sliding, as Alabama climbed following its win at Missouri and projections recalibrated CFP paths across a crowded SEC slate.
