College football rankings: AP Top 5 remains unchanged for Week 13

By Kevin Kelley -

College football rankings for week 13 of the 2024 season have been released, and the AP Top 5 has remained unchanged.

Oregon (11-0) continues its unanimous reign at the top of the AP Poll with all 62 first-place votes. The Ducks also top the Coaches Poll with every first-place vote there as well (55).

The remainder of the AP Top 5 is again Ohio State (2), Texas (3), Penn State (4), and Indiana (5). The Coaches Poll Top 5 now matches the AP Poll.

Two schools that made big moves up this week include South Carolina and Tulane. South Carolina defeated Missouri at home, 34-30, to improve to 7-3 on the season. As a result, the Gamecocks jumped four spots in both the AP Poll and Coaches Poll to No. 19.

After defeating Navy on the road, 35-0, Tulane improved its regular-season mark to 9-2. The Green Wave moved up five spots in the AP Poll to N0. 20 and went from unranked in the Coaches Poll to No. 20.

Newly ranked teams in the AP Poll include Arizona State (21), Iowa State (22), UNLV (23), and Illinois (24). LSU, Louisville, and Missouri fell out of both polls following losses on Saturday. Also dropping out was Kansas State (AP) and Washington State (Coaches).
