The AP Top 25 for Week 6 has been released.

The Big Ten had a strong week with Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Michigan and USC all picking up comfortable wins. The Buckeyes remain the highest-ranked team in this league at No. 3, but Penn State and Oregon also maintained top-10 rankings this week. The Wolverines also moved up a couple spots to No. 10 following their Week 5 victory over Minnesota.

Further down the board, Indiana jumped into the top 25 this week for the first time since the 2021 season when the Hoosiers were ranked No. 17 to start the year. Illinois did tumble down the rankings after its loss to Penn State, but the Illini remained in the top 25 at No. 24.

IU’s inclusion gives the Big Ten a total of 7 ranked teams this week.

The SEC once again has 9 teams in the poll this week, including 4 of the top 5 spots.

Alabama is No. 1 this week following its instant-classic win over Georgia on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa. This is the Tide’s first appearance at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 since the 2022 season. Alabama has had at least 1 week at No. 1 in the AP Poll in 16 of the last 17 seasons.

Following the loss, Georgia slid down to No. 5. No. 2 Texas an No. 4 Tennessee are the other SEC teams who cracked the top 5.

Elsewhere around the league, Oklahoma, LSU and Missouri all moved up this week. Ole Miss fell from No. 6 to No. 12 following its stunning home loss to Kentucky over the weekend. Texas A&M is tied with UNLV at No. 25 this week.
