Michigan walked away as the biggest winner of the weekend by jumping four spots up to No. 2 in the latest AP Top 25 after beating rival Ohio State 42-27 for the first time since 2011. The movement upwards, which marks the fourth different team to land at No. 2 in the AP poll in as many weeks, puts the Wolverines in the top two for the first time since 2016.
Conversely, the Buckeyes dropped five spots to No. 7, becoming the highest ranked two-loss team in the nation. Georgia kept its stranglehold on the No. 1 spot, while Cincinnati jumped Alabama to reach No. 3. Oklahoma State rounds out the top five after beating rival Oklahoma for the first time since 2014.
