Oregon became the fourth team this season to be ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press college football poll and moved into the top spot for the first time in 12 years on Sunday after Texas lost at home to Georgia.

Vanderbilt made its first appearance since the 2013 season, at No. 25, and defending champion Michigan bowed out after a second straight loss cut the score to 4-3.

Undefeated Oregon followed its one-point home win over Ohio State with its first road shutout in 32 years, a 35-0 loss to Purdue, receiving 59 of 61 first-place votes.

Georgia, which has won three straight games since the loss to Alabama, jumped three spots to No. 2 with its 30-15 victory over former No. 1 Texas. The Bulldogs received the other two first-place votes.

No. No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Penn State were inactive on Saturday and kept their spots. Texas fell to No. 5 after Georgia held the Longhorns 28 points below their scoring average.

Miami prevailed in a wild game in Louisville to remain at No. 6, and Tennessee moved up four spots to No. 7 after its win over Alabama. LSU, Clemson and Iowa State rounded out the top 10.

No team has held the No. 1 position for more than three weeks in a row this season. Georgia topped the preseason poll, but a one-point win at unranked Kentucky in Week 3 eliminated the Bulldogs. Texas took over for two weeks and then gave way to Alabama after the Crimson Tide’s win over Georgia.

Alabama spent a week at No. 1 and got upset with Vanderbilt after its win over Georgia. This allowed Texas to return to the top for two weeks.

Chip Kelly coached the only other Oregon teams to reach No. 1. The 2012 Ducks, led by Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, spent a week in first place in November after starting 10-0 with a loss to Stanford. The 2010 team, which lost to Auburn in the BCS title game, spent six weeks at No. 1.

POLL POINTS

This is the first time since 2012 that four teams will play a game in the same season as the No. 1 team. Besides Oregon, the others were USC, Alabama and Notre Dame. The other seasons since 2000 with four or more No. 1 teams were 2007 (4), 2008 (6) and 2010 (4).

Tennessee’s 24-17 win over Alabama made for the biggest moves in the poll. The Volunteers jumped from No. 11 to No. 7. The Crimson Tide fell eight spots to No. 15, their lowest ranking since 2010.

Texas’ loss to Georgia was the first loss by a No. 1 team at home to a top-five opponent since Miami defeated Florida State 17-16 in 1991.

WHO IS INSIDE; WHO IS OUT

Vanderbilt’s previous ranking was No. 24 in the final poll of the 2013 season. The Commodores, who defeated Ball State to improve to 5-2, are off to their best start since opening 5-0 in 2008. That was also the last time that Vanderbilt was ranked in the regular season.

Michigan, which scored its fewest points in a game since 2014 in the 21-7 loss to Illinois, has been ranked in 54 consecutive polls since 2021.

RANKED VS. RANKED

No. 20 Illinois at No. 1 Oregon: The Illini will play the top-ranked team for the first time since 2007. They won 28-21 at Ohio State that year.

No. 5 Texas at No. 25 Vanderbilt: First matchup since these teams met 12 times from 1899 to 1928. The Commodores have not defeated two Top 25 opponents in the same season since 2008.

No. 8 LSU at No. 14 Texas A&M: This has become one of the SEC’s better series of late. The teams have split their past six meetings.

Notre Dame No. 12 at Navy No. 24: This will be the eleventh time in 97 meetings, and the first time since 2019, that both teams will be ranked when they meet.

No. 21 Missouri at No. 15 Alabama: Nothing comes easy this season for either team. The two-loss Crimson Tide hasn’t lost three games before November since 2006.
