Updated rankings of college football teams after Week 14: US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25

Rivalry Week has concluded, and the main shake-up in the college football rankings came from No. 16 Texas defeating No. 3 Texas A&M. The Aggies, after their 27-17 loss to the Longhorns on Friday, Nov. 28, are expected to fall several positions in both the US LBM Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25. With their elimination from SEC championship contention, they also face a possible drop from first-round bye consideration in the College Football Playoff bracket.

Week 14 Highlights

No. 8 Oklahoma and No. 10 Alabama secured narrow victories in their final regular-season games on Saturday, Nov. 29, likely maintaining their top-10 ranking and placement in the CFP bracket. Oklahoma edged out LSU 17-13 with a late touchdown pass from John Mateer to Isaiah Sategna. Meanwhile, Alabama defeated Auburn on a fourth-and-2 touchdown connection from Ty Simpson to Isaiah Horton, who scored three times in the Iron Bowl.

Looking Ahead

Conference championship week is next, featuring No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana competing for the top spot in the 12-team playoff bracket.
