AP Poll Top 25 Ballot: Arch Manning’s Texas Jumps Three Spots, Georgia Tech Slides After Week 13 Meltdown

On3’s Brett McMurphy released his latest AP Poll top 25, and there was a significant shift in the rankings, most notably the Texas Longhorns, who crushed the Arkansas Razorbacks this week.

Let’s take a look at all notable shifts in rankings after Week 13 results.

Texas Makes A Leap Of Three Spots

The Longhorns improved to 8-3 this week after defeating the Razorbacks. Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning completed 18 of 30 passes for 389 yards and four touchdowns while also adding a score through rushing.

The nature of the win was superlative and that’s why they made gains in McMurphy’s ballot. From No. 21 to No. 18, the Longhorns are making waves, and their next encounter will pretty much decide if they have any chance of making it to the College Football Playoff.

Georgia Tech Slides In Latest Ballot

After a 42-28 loss to Pittsburgh this week, Georgia Tech finds itself in the final spot of the AP Poll Top 25 rankings of McMurphy. They were No. 15 before entering Week 13 but it seems their lopsided loss has them at the bottom of the rankings, as their overall record has also slipped to 9-2.

Next week will be the last week in the college football regular season. After this schedule, a 12-team field will be selected for the playoffs. Five of those spots go to the highest-ranked conference champions. The other seven spots are at-large bids given to the highest-ranked remaining teams regardless of conference.

It remains to be seen if we see some more adjustments in the rankings when the official AP Top 25 poll drops.
