The latest AP Top 25 following Week 3 of the college football season has been released, and we have a new No. 1 team. For the first time in 16 years, the Texas Longhorns stand atop the AP poll, though Georgia remains No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
As far as LSU goes, there were no changes this week. The Tigers had to overcome a three-score deficit as a touchdown favorite to avoid an upset against South Carolina, and while that was good enough for a one-spot boost in the coaches poll, they’re remaining at No. 16 in the AP Top 25 this week.
Nine total SEC teams are ranked this week after Texas A&M entered the top 25 with a convincing road win against Florida, snapping a three-year away SEC game drought. Four of the top five teams hail from the SEC, as do six of the top 10.
Here’s the full AP Top 25 after Week 3.
