Texas and Oregon lead AP Top 25 after big Week 7 wins

Texas and Oregon are the top two teams in the AP Top 25 after their big wins on Saturday.

The Longhorns stayed at No. 1 after a 34-3 win over Oklahoma. Texas scored 34 straight points in the victory as Quinn Ewers returned to the field for the first time since Week 3.

Oregon’s win was a bit closer. The Ducks took down Ohio State 32-31 after a go-ahead field goal with less than two minutes to go. The Buckeyes got into field goal range, but an offensive pass interference penalty pushed them back and QB Will Howard slid too late on his scramble up the field as time expired.

The Buckeyes dropped from No. 2 to No. 4 following the loss. They were jumped by Penn State, who beat USC 33-30 in overtime. The Nittany Lions moved up a spot.

Georgia stayed at No. 5 ahead of Miami, Alabama, LSU, Iowa State and Clemson. The Tigers moved up five spots after beating Ole Miss in overtime Saturday night. The Rebels dropped nine spots to No. 18 following the loss.

Tennessee dropped to No. 11 after an overtime win at home over Florida. The Vols fell three spots and are ahead of Notre Dame, BYU, Texas A&M and Boise State.

The Broncos are the top non-power conference team in the country and are among three group of five teams in the top 25. Army (No. 23) and Navy (No. 25) are newcomers to the poll this week after their undefeated starts. The Black Knights beat UAB on Saturday, and Navy was off after its 5-0 start.

Vanderbilt (4-2) was the top team outside the top 25 following its 20-13 win at Kentucky a week after beating Alabama at home. The SEC has six teams inside the top 14 and eight overall in the top 25. The Big Ten has six teams ranked in the poll including three of the top five teams.
