The newest AP poll is here and we have some interesting movement in this week's Top 25.
Biggest risers
LSU landed in the Top 25 after notching back-to-back wins against SEC competition, with their latest victory a result of a 45-20 thrashing of previously unbeaten Ole Miss. The Tigers ended the game on a 35-3 run and outscored the Rebels 21-0 in the second half. LSU's lone two losses this season have come by a single point to Florida State, as well as to unbeaten Tennessee.
Welcome, South Carolina to the top 25, which is their first top-25 ranking since the 2018 season. The Gamecocks rose into the rankings following a notable win over Texas A&M, which marks South Carolina's fourth straight since starting the season 1-2.
Biggest fallers
UCLA's hope for an unbeaten season came to an end in Eugene with the Chip Kelly-led Bruins falling to his former Oregon Ducks. UCLA drops out of the Top 10 entirely after they had no answer for the Ducks' high-powered offense, losing 45-30 on Saturday.
Texas fell as they as Oklahoma State outlasted the Longhorns 41-34, marking the former's second Big 12 loss of the season. Texas has a tough road to bounce back as they also surrendered the tiebreaker to Oklahoma State.
