The latest Associated Press college football poll released Sunday shows significant movement at the top of the rankings. Ohio State has fallen out of the top 10 for the first time this season, while UCLA has climbed into the top five. In a historic milestone, New Mexico has entered the AP rankings for the first time in program history.
The poll, released on November 1, 2026, reflects the results from the weekend's games. Ohio State's drop comes after a loss that ended their run in the elite tier. UCLA's rise to the top five marks their highest ranking in recent years. New Mexico's breakthrough represents a landmark achievement for the Lobos program, which had never previously appeared in the AP Top 25.
