Ohio State Moves to No. 2 in AP Top 25 After BYU Falls
Ohio State advanced to the No. 2 spot in the AP Top 25 college football poll, taking the place of BYU, which dropped to No. 8 after a loss. No. 1 Miami was the only team to hold its ranking.
Topeka, KS, October 25, 2026 —
Ohio State moved into the No. 2 position in the AP Top 25 college football poll, replacing BYU after BYU fell to No. 8 following a loss, according to the poll summary provided.
No. 1 Miami was the only team to keep the same ranking. The summary does not identify the teams’ previous positions beyond saying that Ohio State advanced and BYU dropped, or give rankings for the other teams in the poll.
The change puts Ohio State ahead of BYU in the listed standings. The available information does not name BYU’s opponent, provide the score or date of the loss, or explain how Ohio State’s own results factored into its move. It also does not specify how many places Ohio State climbed.
The poll update therefore establishes the movement at the top of the rankings without providing further game details. Miami remained at No. 1, Ohio State took the No. 2 spot, and BYU was listed at No. 8 after its loss. No additional rankings or explanation of the poll’s voting were included in the summary.
