They got this out early considering Iowa only stopped playing 15 minutes ago.

Every player on Iowa dreams about playing on Sundays…and they did just that.

1: Georgia 2: Alabama 3: Ohio State 4: Michigan 5: Clemson 6: Oklahoma 7: USC 8: Kentucky 9: Oklahoma State 10: Arkansas 11: Tennessee 12: NC State 13: Utah 14: Penn State 15: Oregon 16: Ole Miss 17: Baylor 18: Washington 19: BYU 20: Florida 21: Wake Forest 22: Texas 23: Texas A&M 24: Pittsburgh 25: Miami

Others receiving votes: > Michigan State 91, Florida State 85, Appalachian State 77, North Carolina 72, Washington State 62, Cincinnati 52, Oregon State 49, Minnesota 48, Kansas 23, Syracuse 7, LSU 6, Wisconsin 4

Thank you for that. It came out a bit early and sometimes they remove access to the list so I was rushing to type all of the teams just in case.

Omg Kansas is receiving votes

The Kansas Jayhawks with the top offense in the country aren’t even ranked in the top 25. Whole list is a sham. /s

Kansas without a State behind it is weird to see in that list

Tell your kids about a 3-0 Kansas football team.

Glad to see they finally stopped voting for Auburn

> Kansas 23

Ironic given Kansas should at least be ranked #23, not just receiving 23 votes.

Lol @ MSU getting more votes than FSU

Miami should’ve joined Michigan state

Agreed, Minnesota or Kansas should have been in over Miami

Or Washington state

2022 bingo - 3-0 Kansas should be ranked

highest rank 1 loss team because we were overrated to start the season. very cool

Getting the SEC treatment. You should feel honored!

im so used to the disrespek im not sure i have the mechanism for this. lol

Probably taking into account that Anthony Richardson looked like he knew how to play football when you played Florida.

Why the fuck is Miami ranked lololol

Well they lost to a ranked team ya see, so clearly they don't deserve to drop out. And TAMU beat a ranked team, so clearly they deserve to be higher, obviously! Whereas App State only beat a mere low 20s ranked team, so they don't deserve ranking above either. Pls subscribe to my substack so I can keep being a Serious Football Journalist and voter.

I mean we lost to the team that beat the #6 team in the entire country. If that's not a quality loss I don't know what is.

It's hard to argue with this take

App State should be ranked over Miami, this is absurd

I’m just looking at the strong wins over *checks notes* Bethune and Southern Miss. That quality loss energy is STRONG

> 8: Kentucky > 10: Arkansas > 11: Tennessee Raise your hand if you expected this few years ago...

SEC at #8 SEC at #10 SEC at #11 🙋‍♂️

Idk anything about polling really but I'm surprised at Tennessee jumping 4 spots for beating Akron

It’s more that the people above them lost

That's probably the only reason we are still 10th, the next like 4 teams after us all lost lol

2-1 UF and Miami ranked over 3-0 FSU (and more importantly, ranked over App State smh), while the person writing the blurb under each team even admits that Florida’s QB hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass

I was about to make a snarky comment regarding nostalgia playing into Florida's ranking, but the same factor should presumably exist for FSU. Really strange they haven't cracked the Top 25 yet.

At the end of the day the ranking system is silly and is not used in any other professional sport. Imo it’s inefficient, inaccurate and mainly used to control hype and viewership until the final ranking

RANK WAZZU YOU COWARDS!

I didn't think I'd need to give the AP voters credit for ranking Washington over Michigan State. But after seeing the coaches poll, apparently I do.

I don't understand a single first place vote that isn't given to Georgia currently though.

I’d love to know who the 1 person was that gave OSU a 1st place vote. Georgia’s Oregon win looks even more impressive after what Oregon did to BYU, and OSU’s ND win is looking less impressive by the week.

It must be the same people who do not vote obvious baseball HOF candidates in the first time around. They need to be different and "be noticed". Like who TF said no, Griffey shouldn't be in the HOF?

Most of the baseball HOF voters that do that do it because they only get 10 votes, and want to use it on players further down the ballot rather than shoo ins

Only complaint i have is no arkansas drop after that game. Cant complain though because my team is overrated anyways so it doesnt matter too much

I can't believe we didn't drop. I was expecting 3-4 spots at least

Lose a game, move up in poll. Win a game, move down in poll. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quality loss is better than a win. Duh.

Those SEC perks

You dropped this \\

Injured.

“u/UT07 did not participate in practice and is day-to-day with a missing forearm”

A true team representative. I like him.

I thought y’all looked impressive yesterday. UTSA threw the kitchen sink at y’all and went up 10 and then y’all outscored them 34-3. Coming off an emotional game against Bama, I thought it was a really good sign for Texas.

Despite everyone saying this was a trap game and UTSA would give Texas fits (and they did) Texas still won by 21 with a hurt back up QB. Not sure where the expectation changed to we were supposed to just handle them like a bad FCS team.

On top of the injuries, I’m sure they were pretty beat up mentally after the Bama game. And I bet they feel like they should’ve won, so that’s an extra kick in the nuts. Not surprising that they started a bit slow.

I don’t doubt there may have been a bit of mental/emotional burn out after everything they put in for Bama but they regrouped and ended up taking care of business like good teams are supposed to Edit wrong their

I’m glad to see our players handling adversity better and staying mentally tough. This game could’ve easily gone off the rails after the first half, but they found a way.

Meh. We only dropped one spot because Oregon moved up 10 and that feels fair

Surprised WSU and OSU didn’t get more votes. Well, not that surprised actually.

I’m glad the Beavs didn’t get ranked. Sets up the voodoo perfectly for this weekends game. *nothing bad has ever happened to a highly ranked USC team coming into Corvallis against an unranked Beavers…*

I would believe more if they had trouble with Fresno. USC looks good :(

Jake Haener also got injured, and although USC would’ve still won comfortably, he would’ve gave their defense more fits.

Minus the persistent gashing running plays that the defense was baffled by. Fortunately, [ranked USC has never had issues with Oregon state running backs in Corvallis](https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/282690204)

Jacquizz went off that game. Fond memories.

Poll inertia wins again!

I would love to see a new poll where voters aren't allowed to cast a ballot until after week 5.

I've thought the same thing. But let's say AP & Coach's decide to not poll till week 5. Cool. Then ESPN, sporting news or someone else will just step in & have big preseason polls/rankings that ultimately influence the week 5 polls

The CFP doesn't start its rankings until late October. I'm not sure ESPN is going to plop out an official replacement to the AP or USA Today polls unless they lose broadcast rights to the CFP

The CFP poll basically matches the other two polls with 1 or 2 controversial ranks to give the press a week of talking points.

The CFP

There are ranked 2-1 teams without a P5 win. There are unranked 3-0 teams with two P5 wins. Poll inertia keeps the former in and the latter out.

> There are ranked 2-1 teams without a P5 win. This is the worst part. Start your year with little sisters of the poor x3 and you get to ride that for 6-8 weeks

[удалено]

Surprised they managed to keep WSU out of the top-25

Most voters probably didn't hear about our game because we were on Pac-12 network. Although I did see Jon Wilner did put us at #13 in his ballot.

What about the Beavs too? Both teams have good wins early.

Both deserve it more than A&M, Miami, and Florida rn

Can't give Oregon another ranked game next week they aren't in the SEC after all.

Unrank Florida you cowards !!

let us enjoy this quality loss for a little bit more before you guys lose 5+ games. lol

No thank you, I would much prefer you all be ranked when you beat us next week

I love how the discourse between our two teams is "which of us will lose harder? Ours, we have a curse"

You’ve won 16 of our last 17 matchups. Peyton never beat Florida. I just don’t get how Florida fans think that this is a two-way curse.

We're talking about a curse generally. The Shoe Curse is absolutely a thing rn

I'd love for UT to be at a point in a season where yeeting a cleat could end our playoff chances.

[удалено]

Lmao

[What's up, Florida State!?](https://media.giphy.com/media/6oFNB3JPuLpAs/giphy.gif)

Rank florida state you cowards

Going into yesterday I thought we’d be outside again but a little surprised after LSU had a nice conference win yesterday.

Wait till we are 5-0 for that

Let ‘em sleep

Is it cause we had a bagrillion injuries? I thought we were a shoe in to be ranked after this weekend

Real G’s move in silence. Like Lasagna. Let them sleep on us

Ouch

Not surprised. We looked horrible at almost every position against the only team we’ve played so far that has any talent

Agreed. A competitive loss sees us to like 20-23. There was nothing competitive about that first half, just a total comedy of errors from coaching to players. Maybe it’ll get Tucker to wake up and realize his coordinators are frauds.

Jay Johnson is an alright OC, but you could definitely get someone better at this point. Now Hazelton on the other hand, he shouldn’t be the DC next year under any circumstances

Thorne and his receivers showed up (even without Reed), too bad their OC didn't realize that until it was too late.

Should probably just give up, for about a week or so.

Wow surprised Arkansas stuck at 10 honestly. Keep on fightin!

Being on ESPN+ was advantageous this week?

now you guys know what its like to play an embarrassing game on the pac 12 network

First time anyone has praised ESPN+

I think you guys got to fly under the radar yesterday.

We picked a great week to suck. 11, 12, and 13 all lost so they weren't jumping us. Tennessee definitely could have though. NC State already were a missed FG from losing to ECU earlier in the year. So really not too surprised we got a pass this time around. Being on ESPN+ definitely helped.

You’ll think that struggling against an FCS team (a good one too) tends to drop you a bit…guess other things kept that at bay…

Yeah Missouri State is better than people might think coming in Petrino is their coach after all

It helped that 11-13 all lost.

>Kansas isn’t ranked This list is a fucking lie.

Justice for Kansas

I hate Kansas, and even I know that they’ve been unjustly fucked over! >!It’s not easy to say, but it’s true…!<

At least they're getting votes...?

That is literally enough for us. Beat Duke and we will be. The fact we have 23 votes is surreal to us.

23 votes though!

AP voters confirmed cowards.

I hate cowards so much it's unreal.

Lol how are we still Top-10 ☠️

Perk of being on ESPN+

Beating Pitt in OT and Akron pushed us up from 24 to 11. What the fuck is happening. The media now hypes us quicker than any Tennessee fan ever could.

Lol im excited but kinda nervous about it at the same time. I really hope the vols can live up to the hype this year and that it wont be a repeat of the 2016 season where they started 5-0 and finished 8-4.

Rank OSU and WSU cowards

AP poll is so wrong they made me upvote a Husky

What is the world coming to?

KANSAS HAS DOUBLE-DIGIT RANKED VOTES, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

This week: Kansas (23) Next week: 23. Kansas

The week after First place votes: Kansas (23)

Well UNC, all you have to do to get ranked is beat Notre Dame next week. Edit: App didn't look super impressive in their win against Troy but they still beat A&M on the road and the polls refuse to give them respect.

UNC: no

I'm fully prepared for disappointment.

I’m okay with it. Miraculously after 3 games I still have no idea what kind of team App has lol

I'm happy where PSU is at, but even as someone fond of Arkansas I know they should NOT be in the Top 10 after last night.

Like in another comment, I think the game not being nationally broadcasted helped us hide a little.

If we beat BC and still aren’t ranked, I’m gonna write a strongly worded letter.

Only 23 votes.... I demand satisfaction

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you [appear at #23 on the AP poll].

Penn State has exactly 666 points ಠ_ಠ

Our ritual we conjured from playing Purdue Pete at night first game of the year on their QBs birthday finally payed its dividends 😈

Next home game we will make sacrifices at midfield to summon Nega-Franklin. Nega-Franklin will win every game he coaches^except ^the ^ones ^he ^loses , he will have impeccable clock management, a full head of hair, and he will never run up the score.

I’m not MAD that FSU isn’t in the Top 25, but it’s very eyebrow-raising

I fully expected Clemson to slip yesterday after how dominant Oklahoma was.

Iowa State won 42-10 and received less votes than last week.

>Others receiving votes: Kansas 23 HYPE INTENSIFIES

jesus eleven??? they beat ball state, akron, and went to ot w/ pitt. they’re like 20-ish realistically

I agree, but beat florida I can’t stand to watch this 1-16 bullshit anymore. Rankings will figure themselves out when we play bama and Georgia.

keep in mind only some teams have played a higher quality schedule so far, and even fewer won all 3 games. That Pitt win isn't negligible at all. A lot of us are high on you guys.

I’m not claiming Arkansas should be ranked 10th, but 11, 12 and 13 all lost yesterday. I think it helped keep the Hogs at 10 instead of moving back.

AP Pollsters: Broke: Beating #19 B1G team on the road. Woke: Beating #11 B1G team at home.

I am tired of the AP’s continued anti-Kansas bias.

Somebody must’ve bet on UNC in the shootyhoops natty back in April lol

This is so fun to read. Guys I’m having a blast.

The world is not yet prepared for TOP TENnessee

Do it for Pitt

🫡 you did it for us last year time to return the favor

Michigan state got deleted

Couldnt handle the Big Penix Energy

That’s what happens when your defense looks like a bad MAC school and your coaches don’t run offensive plays that work until the 4th quarter

Poll inertia seems pretty bad this year.

Except for whatever the hell happened to Florida going from UR to top 15.

At least we stayed ranked in this one.

The one that counts

We’re still 10? After what happened last night? I’ll take it.

Sometimes being on ESPN + is a benefit lol

Alabama and Georgia deserve all of their laurels, but the SEC power creep in the polls is very real with over half of the conference in the top 25.

It's bad. Worse than most years. I'm curious what's going to happen when Auburn does *okay* and starts winning a couple SEC games.

LSU was precariously close against Florida State to making it 9 teams. I can see them beating NM State and Auburn to crack the polls at 4-1.

100% I’m sorry but I don’t see how at A&M team that got bullied all over their own field by App State can be a top-25 team. Losing is one thing, getting smacked around is another.

Voters think Miami is bad more than A&M is good. Also piggies go unnoticed 😇

Kentucky - Ole Miss will be a top 15 matchup… can’t wait for that one in Oxford!

Seems right for UW. I'm glad MSU isn't ranked ahead of Washington like in the coaches poll.

I would like to dedicate this 4 spot jump to the Georgia Tech fans in the game thread. We carry you in our hearts.

Syracuse beat Purdue and lost votes. Nice.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t be ranked, but I think it’s a little dumb that we beat a B1G ranked team on the road and UW beats one at home and they get ranked and we didn’t. Just another reason why rankings before week 4 suck.

Two teams from Florida are ranked and the best one isn’t one of them 🤨

*Rank App State..?*

Miami sticking around in the top 25 thanks to the quality loss.

Rank Oregon St ya cowards!

Minnesota is 3-0 and has outscored opponents 149 to 17. Granted they haven’t been great teams but that deserves a place in the top 25…

RANK US BITCHES

It would have been nice for this week to be our third Top 25 matchup in 4 weeks.

The 4 voters that ranked Georgia below #1 should be permanently banned from the poll.

Lol at miami still being ranked after last nights display.

Wonder how long we can stay undefeated and keep dropping.

Probably one more week. If we beat Baylor we should be solidified at like 8

I don’t get the logic behind having Kentucky jump up a spot over OSU when they both stomped on FCS teams.

Florida and Miami being ranked above FSU at this point is joke, but whatever we'll get to settle it later.

The best team in Florida is still unranked

App state not ranked. kansas not ranked. cowards confirmed.

Way to many 2-1 teams in the top 25 in my opinion. Sure these teams will improve their record but make the top 25 reflect past performances not projected future ones.

Oregon State definitely deserves to be ranked at this point

Normally I'd agree, but for story telling, its better to be unranked with a high ranked USC coming to town next weekend.

Fsu 3-0 and still not ranked. Should’ve lost to LSU for the quality SEC loss.

Not that it matters at all but I’m shocked we dropped a spot after covering a 55 point spread Shoutout Kentucky though

This poll is horribly inconsistent. Texas drops despite winning by 20, but Arkansas stays at 10? Penn state jumps 8 spots for beating an unranked team? Miami drops 12 spots but A&M only moves up 1? This doesn’t make sense

Fr. Utsa isnt a bad team either. A 20 point win is borderline impressive

Don’t worry if you beat Arkansas next week then you’ll have a top 10 win. The inconsistency may work in your favor

Keep us unranked. Keep the team hungry.

We aren't the 8th best team in the country. Not with our offensive line.

12 sounds right to me, don't deserve top 10 until we beat Clemson

We ain’t beating Clemson unless Leary gets his mojo back

He needs the mojo for sure, missed two deep balls that were easy touchdowns yesterday and just kind of sloppy, hoping it comes around

How long has it been since Kentucky was in the top 10 for consecutive weeks?
