Summary
No. 2 Ole Miss was the biggest mover in Josh Furlong’s latest AP Top 25 ballot after beating LSU, while BYU climbed to No. 10 and Texas held the top spot.
363 passing yards and 2 touchdowns from Trinidad Chambliss powered Ole Miss’ statement win over LSU, with an end-zone interception sealing the result and boosting his early Heisman case.
BYU entered the top 10 after a road win over Colorado State, with LJ Martin again leading the Cougars as Furlong cast them as the Big 12 favorite.
Texas stayed No. 1 despite an unconvincing 30-6 win over UTSA, while Miami rose to No. 3 behind Darian Mensah and Alabama survived a 21-6 deficit to beat Florida State 50-36.
The reshuffled ballot reflects a week that tightened the race behind Texas, with Ole Miss and other contenders now pressing for the No. 1 position.
