ASU football receives votes in AP Top 25 poll after win over UCF

Arizona State football received 35 votes in The Associated Press’ Top 25 poll following its 35-31 win over UCF on Saturday.

ASU has received votes a few times this season, including 39 votes after its win against Utah on Oct. 11, but has yet to appear in the Top 25 under head coach Kenny Dillingham.

The Sun Devils (7-2, 4-2) visit Manhattan, Kansas for a matchup with Kansas State on Saturday, as the Wildcats moved up two spots to No. 20 while idle in Week 11.

The Big 12 conference has three teams ranked in the poll between No. 7 BYU, No. 18 Colorado and No. 20 Kansas State. Iowa State dropped out of the Top 25 following a 45-36 loss to Kansas on Saturday. The Sun Devils play BYU in their final home game one week after traveling to Manhattan.

Oregon top of AP Top 25 poll, Georgia and Miami drop out of Top 10

Oregon was the No. 1 team in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll for the fourth straight week Sunday as Penn State and Indiana climbed into the top five, Georgia and Miami dropped out of the top 10, and losses by four other ranked teams shuffled the rankings with a month left in the regular season.

Ohio State moved up one spot to No. 2 and Texas got a two-rung bump to No. 3. Penn State was No. 4, one point ahead of No. 5 Indiana with Tennessee just three points behind at No. 6.

Penn State, No. 6 last week, returned to the top five after its win over Washington. The Hoosiers, who beat Michigan 20-15 for their school-record 10th win and first win by fewer than 14 points, moved up from No. 8 and have their highest ranking since they were No. 4 in the final poll of the 1967 season.

Following Tennessee in the top 10 were BYU, Notre Dame, Alabama and Mississippi. The SEC has four teams in the top 10 and nine overall in the Top 25 while the Big Ten’s four ranked teams are all in the top five.

Georgia and Miami plummeted. The Bulldogs lost 28-10 at Mississippi and went from No. 2 to No. 11, marking the first time they’ve been out of the top 10 since late in the 2020 season. The Hurricanes’ 28-23 loss at Georgia Tech sent them from No. 4 to No. 12.
