Week 6 of college football<\/a> wasn\u2019t great for a couple of blue blood teams. The latest AP Top 25 rankings<\/a>, dropping at 2 p.m. ET, are likely to break some hearts for Penn State and Texas fans.<\/p>\n

A week after their crushing home loss to Oregon, No. 7 Penn State got beat again, this time falling 42-37 to a woebegone UCLA<\/a> in one of the biggest \u2014 if not the biggest \u2014 upset of the year in college football.<\/p>\n

No. 9 Texas lost 29-21 to Florida<\/a>, which could knock the Longhorns out of the poll altogether.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not all bad news in the Top 25, thanks to wins by three top-five teams Saturday. Ohio State rolled past Minnesota 42-3<\/a>, No. 3 Miami held off No. 18 Florida State 28-22 and No. 5 Oklahoma routed Kent State 44-0.<\/a><\/p>\n

So how will the rest of the top 10 shake out?<\/p>\n

Follow live updates from The Associated Press below for poll predictions, game recaps, analysis and voter answers to fan questions, all in one place.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to know:<\/p>\n

Who should move up? No. 10 Alabama may have the opportunity to jump at least two spots thanks to losses by Penn State and Texas. No. 11 Texas Tech could see its highest ranking since 2013 and No. 12 Georgia is also poised to return to the top 10.Who could join? South Florida, which hasn\u2019t make the Top 25 in the last three weeks, was the first team in line outside the Top 25 last week and could reenter. Cincinnati and Memphis also made their cases with wins this week.Who decides the rankings? The Top 25 voters are over 60 journalists covering college football<\/a> for AP members and other news organizations. They\u2019re urged to base their votes on head-to-head results, not reputation, preseason speculation or regional bias.Think you know better?
