After a weekend never before seen for teams in the Associated Press Top 25, a major shakeup is on tap in the college football poll on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Five of the top seven teams in the rankings \u2014 No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 5 Indiana, No. 6 Alabama and No. 7 Texas \u2014 lost on the same day in the regular season for the first time in the history of the poll that began in 1936. It\u2019s the first time Nos. 1 and 2 lost on the same day in the regular season since 2012 and eight Top 25 teams lost in all.<\/p>\n
No. 3 Miami (6-0) was among the survivors \u2014 barely. The Hurricanes are set to take over the top poll spot for the first time since 2002 after beating rival Florida State 43-35 in a double-overtime thriller.<\/p>\n
If they do, the Hurricanes can only hope to do better than the No. 1 team has the last two weeks; Texas and Georgia lost to unranked teams, the first time that’s happened in consecutive weeks since 1990.<\/p>\n
Also up for possible promotions are No. 4 Ohio State (6-1), which beat the Hoosiers 19-15, No. 8 BYU (6-0), which knocked off Notre Dame 28-24; No. 9 Mississippi (5-1), which routed No. 13 Missouri 31-3; and No. 10 Texas Tech (6-0), which beat Arizona State 53-25.<\/p>\n
It could be quite a day for the Big 12, with No. 11 Utah (6-0) among the unbeaten after holding off Colorado 27-24.<\/p>\n
The questions include be how far Georgia, Notre Dame and Indiana might fall after close losses. Alabama and Texas now have two losses each and No. 14 Tennessee (6-1) is in line for a step up after beating the Crimson Tide 26-10.<\/p>\n
