College football rankings for week 15 of the 2024 season have been released, and there is a new Top 5 after the Ohio State Buckeyes lost on Saturday.
Ohio State, previously ranked second, fell five spots to No. 7 in the AP Poll and six spots to No. 8 in the Coaches Poll after losing at home to Michigan, 13-10.
As a result of Ohio State’s loss, five teams that were behind the Buckeyes each moved up a spot in the AP Poll. Texas is now second, Penn State third, Notre Dame fourth, and Georgia fifth.
Oregon (12-0) continues its 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 (53).
Miami also dropped in the rankings after losing on Saturday, falling to No. 14 in both polls. That result caused a change in the 6-10 spots as well, which is now Tennessee (6), Ohio State (7), SMU (8), Indiana (9), and Boise State (10).
Syracuse (9-3) makes its first appearance in the AP Poll at No. 23, its first ranking since Oct. 30, 2022, after upsetting then No. 8 Miami at home, 42-38. Memphis (10-2) also returned to the AP Poll at No. 25 after winning at No 17 Tulane, 34-24.
Tulane and Texas A&M fell out of both polls after losses this week.
