Ohio State Moves to No. 2 in AP Top 25 as BYU Falls to No. 8
In college football's AP Top 25 poll, Ohio State has moved up to the No. 2 ranking, replacing BYU which fell to No. 8. Miami remains the only team holding its No. 1 position.
Terre Haute, IN, October 25, 2026 —
Ohio State has moved into the No. 2 spot in college football’s AP Top 25 poll, while BYU has dropped to No. 8. Miami remains at No. 1, the only team to retain that position, according to the poll information provided.
The change places Ohio State ahead of BYU in the rankings. The summary does not identify the teams’ previous positions, explain what prompted either movement, or provide voting totals. It also does not specify when the poll was released or which week of the season it covers.
Miami’s position is the only ranking described as unchanged: the team continues to hold the top spot. No other teams or placements in the Top 25 were included in the information available for this report.
The poll update establishes the latest reported positions for the three programs but offers no further detail about the voting or the results behind the rankings. The reasons for Ohio State’s rise and BYU’s fall were not provided, so no cause for the changes can be determined from the information supplied.
