AP Top 25 Shake-Up Expected After Key College Football Results

The upcoming Associated Press (AP) Top 25 college football poll, scheduled for release on Monday, is expected to see significant changes. This comes after No. 2 Oregon secured a closer-than-expected victory over Boise State, while No. 11 LSU achieved a lopsided win against Clemson.

Another major point of discussion for the voting panel, which consists of 69 writers and broadcasters, is how to evaluate No. 16 Michigan's narrow 13-12 victory over Western Michigan. The game saw a dramatic finish where one second was added back to the clock, providing just enough time for Bryce Underwood's second Hail Mary attempt to land in the hands of JJ Buchnan for a touchdown.

If Michigan drops out of the Top 25 following this win, it would mark the first time in at least two decades that a team ranked so high plummeted out of the rankings after a victory. A similar situation occurred last year when Kansas State fell from No. 17 to unranked after holding off North Dakota. Meanwhile, Ohio State is expected to maintain its No. 1 ranking after rolling past Ball State.
