AP Top 25 brought a huge shift to college football rankings after Week 8. Indiana grabbed No. 2, while Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech broke into the top 10.
Despite beating the No. 25 Michigan Wolverines 31-13 on Oct. 11, the USC Trojans are no longer ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll entering week 9. Michigan being ranked over USC isn't the only controversy from the recent AP Top 25 rankings.
Ole Miss blew out Tulane and beat LSU, while Louisville's best result besides this week's win was a comeback victory over a flawed but improving Pittsburgh team. The Cardinals also have the weaker loss. Falling to Virginia at home is not the same as losing to Georgia on the road, even if the Virginia defeat was in overtime.
The Tulane Green Wave sees their polling improve in this week's Top-25 Polls. For the first time this season, the Tulane Green Wave has received votes from the media voting in the AP Top-25 poll. Though not enough to get in to the 25th slot, the Wave garnered 37 this week.
The Tennessee Vols' slow climb up the AP Top poll will end this week. Tennessee started the season ranked No. 24 in the AP Top 25 poll. The Volunteers climbed all the way to No. 11 this past week before suffering a 37-20 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.
