After defeating previously top-ranked Texas, Georgia football moved from No. 5 to No. 2 in the newest AP Top 25.

Georgia, which opened the season as the No. 1 before its narrow win at Kentucky dropped the Bulldogs, received two first-place votes.

Undefeated Oregon, coached by former Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning, claimed the No. 1 spot, while Texas dropped to No. 5.

Vanderbilt, now at No. 25, made its first appearance in the ranking since the 2013 season. Defending national champion Michigan fell out after a second straight loss.
