AP Poll: Wisconsin, Texas Enter Top 11, Houston Jumps To #6, LSU Drops Out Of Top 20

The "best opening weekend in college football history" certainly did not disappoint. Seven ranked teams lost, including three in the top 10 and two in the top five.

Alabama looked every bit the part of the preseason No. 1 team in the country, blowing out No. 20 USC, 52-6, in the most impressive win of the weekend. No. 3 Oklahoma lost in a 33-23 upset to No. 15 Houston, and No. 5 LSU fell to an unranked Wisconsin team, 16-14. Two other teams lost to unranked opponents as well. No. 10 Notre Dame lost 50-47 to Texas in double overtime, while No. 16 UCLA dropped their game at Texas A&M, losing 31-24 in overtime.

All of those results are reflected in the new AP Top 25 rankings, and there are some major shakeups. Wisconsin jumped all the way up to No. 10 and Texas moved to No. 11, both of whom were not ranked in the preseason poll. After that, the biggest jump came from Houston, who moved from No. 15 to No. 6. The biggest drop came from LSU, who tumbled all the way from No. 5 to No. 21.
