September 16, 2024 by CollegeFootballPoll.com Staff and AFCA.com

Georgia still sits at No. 1 after escaping Kentucky with a 13-12 win, but Texas moved to the second spot after the 56-7 win over UTSA. Ohio State was idle and dropped to No. 3, followed by Alabama and Ole Miss.

Texas A&M and UNLV are newcomers this week at No. 24 and No. 25, respectively.

In a battle of top 20 teams, Arizona took an early 7-0 lead against Kansas State, but the Wildcat defense pitched a shutout the rest of the way. Behind Avery Johnson’s 266 yards of total offense, Kansas State won going away, 31-7. The Wildcats moved up one to No. 14 in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll, while Arizona dropped out from their No. 18 spot last week.
