AP College Football Poll 2026 Week 11 Rankings Released with Top Risers and Fallers

Georgia is the new No. 1 team in the Associated Press Top 25 poll after Miami's loss to Notre Dame on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs also bolstered their resume with a 42-7 blowout of Ole Miss. Miami didn't drop too far, moving into No. 5.

Kentucky wasn't so fortunate, going from sixth to 13th following a 34-6 defeat to Tennessee.

Oregon's 41-28 victory over Ohio State was another consequential result, with the team heading in opposite directions. The Ducks are three spots ahead of the Buckeyes.

Saturday's games likely served as a College Football Playoff eliminator for some big teams. Ohio State, LSU, Ole Miss and Missouri all have three defeats now, giving them a narrow and perhaps impossible path to the CFP.

Tigers coach Lane Kiffin isn't on the hot seat already, but the honeymoon period in Baton Rouge is likely over.

If you enter the stadium with an entourage like this, you better win. You certainly can't lose to a rival by 18 points at home.

Thanks to the transfer portal, coaches don't have the grace period they once did. LSU's roster has a reported price tag of $40 million or more. When that's the case, a three-loss season isn't going to cut it.

Things can still get worse for the Tigers, too. They still have to play Texas and Tennessee before wrapping up the regular season against Arkansas.

Even if LSU goes on to post a 9-3 record, Year 1 of the Kiffin era is likely to be deemed a disappointment.

Up north in Columbus, Ohio State coach Ryan Day might finally be running out of time.

Coming up short against USC was bad, but Luke Fahey was making his first career start for an injured Julian Sayin. The Buckeyes still had a lot to play for as well. They almost certainly would've earned a CFP berth as a two-loss team.

Now, that's also off the table, and it will heap even more pressure on Day.

Ohio State has one of the most spoiled fanbases in sports. Going back generations, the Bucks were rarely terrible, and they've been a Top-10 team almost annually since Jim Tressel came aboard in 2001. The 2011 season is the last time they failed to hit 10-plus wins with a full schedule.

Even taking all of that into account, we've reached a point where even Day's most vocal supporters might struggle to make an affirmative argument for him.

The last time Day appeared to be in serious jeopardy, a national title run took a coaching change off the table. That lifeline is in all likelihood off the table given what happened this weekend.
