Additionally, both Kansas and Kansas State entered The Big Big News’ weekly college football rankings on Sunday. For the 20th consecutive week, Georgia retains the No. 1 position, acquiring 48 out of 63 possible first-place votes. This further widens the gap between them and the second-placed Michigan, especially after Georgia’s decisive victory over Florida this past weekend. This marks the 50th week in a row that either Georgia or Alabama has claimed the top spot in the rankings. The Wolverines, who had a week off and were in the headlines due to an NCAA investigation, received nine first-place votes. Both Ohio State and Florida State, ranked third and fourth respectively, garnered three first-place votes each. Washington continues to hold the fifth position, one place above their Pac-12 competitor Oregon, which advanced two places to the sixth rank after a convincing victory over Utah. Subsequently, Utah dropped five places to the 18th position. Texas remains unchanged at No. 7, while Alabama ascended to No. 8, and Penn State moved to the ninth position. Oklahoma suffered their first loss of the season, and remarkably their first loss to Kansas since 1997. This resulted in their slide in the rankings, now behind their Big 12 competitor Texas, whom they had defeated three weeks prior. Kansas made a comeback in the rankings at No. 22, following one of their most significant victories in the history of the program. Kansas State returned to the rankings at No. 25, setting the stage for an important upcoming game against Texas. Air Force improved their standing by two positions to No. 17, which is their highest ranking since they finished 13th in 1998.
