Ole Miss set to jump LSU in the AP Top 25 after a 32-24 win

An adjustment to the top 10 probably is in store for The Associated Press Top
25 college football poll when it is released Sunday.
No. 8 Mississippi is set to move ahead of No. 7 LSU after holding off Lane
Kiffin and the Tigers 32-24 on Saturday night, and No. 9 Texas A&M should drop
after losing 31-21 at home to Kentucky.
No. 1 Texas, which moved to the top spot last week after beating Ohio State,
had no problem getting past UTSA. The rest of the top five --- Georgia, Notre
Dame, Indiana and Miami --- also won, with the closest margin being 13 points.
Three ranked teams besides LSU and Texas A&M took their first losses. No. 16
SMU was beaten 41-31 at No. 23 Louisville, No. 23 Houston lost 28-26 at No. 13
Texas Tech and No. 25 Virginia lost 38-27 to unranked West Virginia in a
neutral-site game in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Teams that won somewhat unimpressively included No. 12 USC (42-35 at winless
Rutgers) and No. 24 Oklahoma (14-6 at home over New Mexico).
Washington, the team outside the Top 25 with the most votes after dropping out
last week, had a solid win over Eastern Washington of the Football Championship
Subdivision and could re-enter the rankings. Also in line is Florida, which is
3-0 for the first time since 2019 after beating Auburn on the road.
