college football, AP Top 25 Poll
Digest more
The Top 10 looks quite a bit different in the Associated Press Top 25 poll heading into Week 9 of the 2025 college football season.
Vanderbilt has now registered multiple wins over teams ranked in the top 15 of the AP poll for the first time in school history, and already surpassed its preseason win total, which was 5.5. LSU, meanwhile, dropped 10 spots from No. 10 to No. 20, the largest fall of the week.
With so many losses this weekend, the AP Top 25 poll should have some fun and wild changes. How high will Vanderbilt, Missouri, and Notre Dame move up?
