Ohio State Holds Steady Amid Wild Week 6 and South Florida is back
By – Jim Williams Senior Columnist – Capital Sports Network
Ohio State may still wear the crown, but Week 6 of the college football season was anything but predictable. The Buckeyes retained their No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 with 40 first-place votes, but the rest of the leaderboard saw seismic shifts. Five ranked teams fell, including top-10 stalwarts Penn State and Texas, whose shocking exits sent shockwaves through the poll. Meanwhile, USF clawed its way back into the rankings at No. 24, proving that resilience still matters in this unpredictable season. With Miami surging to No. 2 and Oregon climbing to third, the race for supremacy is heating up—and the voters are scrambling to make sense of it all.
From Alabama’s dominant win over Vanderbilt to UCLA’s upset of Penn State, the weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions and surprises. Texas Tech and Georgia made quiet moves into the top 10, while previously unranked teams like USF reminded fans that no spot is safe. The AP Top 25 is more volatile than ever, and with half the season still ahead, the only certainty is uncertainty.
