AP Top 25 poll: Miami takes over at No. 1, BYU surges to No. 2 in college football rankings

There is a change at the top for the second straight week amid a chaotic weekend of upsets, while BYU The wildest Saturday in college football history led to a significant shakeup in the weekly Associated Press Top 25 poll. When five of the eight top-ranked teams all lost on the same day — the first time in AP poll history — it guaranteed a new-look top 10. The undefeated Miami Hurricanes are the new No. 1 team in the country, receiving 40 first-place votes. The Hurricanes jumped last week's No. 1 Georgia, which slipped to No. 5 after a last-second home loss to unranked Auburn. The Big 12 was the biggest benefactor from Saturday's chaos atop the rankings.

BYU jumped all the way up to No. 2 after its controversial win over then-No. 2 Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish fell two spots to No. 4 despite the Big 12 issuing a statement afterward that officials erred in not putting another second on the clock. Texas Tech jumped up two spots to No. 8 after its blowout win over Arizona State. The Big 12 now has a conference-best three top-10 teams. The Big Ten also has three top-10 teams (Ohio State, Indiana and UCLA), while the SEC has two. A week ago, the SEC had four teams in the top
