AP Poll Top 25 College Football Rankings released after Week 12

The latest AP Poll Top 25 rankings are in after Week 12 in college football, and there were some shakeups after another wild weekend!

Oregon and Texas had close calls, Georgia got back on the winning end of things, and BYU is no longer undefeated. A lot happened again!

Let’s dive into the latest AP Poll Top 25 Rankings After Week 12.

Oregon had a close call against Wisconsin on the road. Still, the Ducks came away with a 16-13 win over the Badgers to remain undefeated.

Dillon Gabriel didn’t play well, so he’ll have to fix that after the season. He finished with 218 yards passing and one interception.

Ohio State rolled to a 31-7 victory over Northwestern on the road after trailing 7-0. ‘Nuff said, right? Buckeyes win.

Will Howard threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns and Quinshon Judkins ran for two on the ground. Carnell Tate caught both scores, but Jeremiah Smith notched 100 yards receiving. Well balanced Saturday.

Texas outshot Arkansas 20-10 on the road in a game too close for comfort. Quinn Ewers actually played a solid game, but the offense failed to generate much rhythm.

Ewers only threw for 176 yards but threw two touchdowns. Now at 9-1, Texas controls its way to the SEC and the College Football Playoff.

Penn State dominated Purdue to continue its winning streak over teams not named Ohio State. That 49-10 victory was largely over by the time the fourth quarter began.

Drew Allar threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns in the win. When Beau Pribula came in, he threw and ran for a score.

Indiana had a week off, Curt Cignetti got a massive contract extension and the Hoosiers have a date with Ohio State coming up. What a time to be an IU fan.

The way they play, this is one of the best teams in the country. But they get their biggest test. But if they win, can we talk about a national title?

Notre Dame rolled to another win over Virginia and has now won eight games in a row. Since that loss to NIU, the Fighting Irish have dominated.

Riley Leonard threw for 214 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Jeremiah Love had 137 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

Alabama rolled to a non-conference win over Mercer to improve to 8-2 on the season. Jalen Milroe also had a field day.

He finished with 186 yards and two touchdowns through the air while running for 43 yards and another score. Alabama heads to Oklahoma next week.

It was a great night for the Bulldogs, getting back on track and keeping their College Football Playoff hopes alive. You have to love playing top 10 opponents at home.

Carson Beck had one of his best games of the season, throwing for 347 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a score to go along with 32 yards rushing.

Ole Miss had the week off fresh off the win over Georgia. So the Rebels are definitely feeling themselves, but can they keep it up?

The offense can beat anyone in the country, but it’s the defense that has really stepped up. Put it all together, and Ole Miss might be one of the best teams in the country to win it all on their best day.

Tennessee survived a fall despite the loss to Georgia. But now with another loss, there are more questions about the Vols’ offense.

Just a bad night? Or was Georgia just the good Saturday night? Either way, this team’s two-loss playoff chances took a hit.
