UNDATED (AP) — Ohio State, Penn State and LSU remain the top three teams in The Associated Press Top 25. No. 4 Oregon is back in the top five and No. 18 South Florida is ranked for the first time in seven years. Georgia's uninspired win caused them to slip to No. 6 behind Miami. Texas, Notre Dame, Illinois and Florida State round out the top 10.
UNDATED (AP) — The Big Ten would claim three of the top four seeds in the College Football Playoff based on The Associated Press Top 25 poll while Miami, Georgia, Texas and Notre Dame would host first-round games. Ohio State and Penn State remain the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds on the projected bracket and conference mate Oregon would be No. 4. LSU would be the No. 3 seed. The top four receive first-round byes. The Big Ten would have four teams in the 12-team field, the SEC three, ACC two and Big 12 and American one each.
UNDATED (AP) — Oregon coach Dan Lanning admitted that comments Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy made earlier in the week about the financial disparities between the two teams added motivation in the Ducks’ 69-3 rout of the Cowboys on Saturday. Lanning said winning doesn't require extra motivation, but it never hurts when someone `pours gasoline on the fire." Earlier in the week Gundy talked about Oregon’s apparent NIL resources, saying the Cowboys spent “around $7 million” on their team over three years while the Ducks had spent close to $40 million last year alone — while admitting that he might be off a few million.
