College football rankings: Oregon moves into AP Top 10

By Kevin Kelley -

College football rankings for Week 4 of the 2023 season have been released, and the Oregon Ducks have moved into the top ten of the AP Poll.

Oregon moved up three spots in the AP Poll to No. 10 after their 55-10 blowout win at home against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. The Ducks (3-0) moved up two spots in the Coaches Poll to No. 11.

Next week, Oregon will take on Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes, who defeated the in-state rival Colorado State Rams, 43-35, in double-overtime late Saturday night to remain undefeated at 3-0. Colorado dropped one spot in the AP Poll to No. 19, while moving up two spots in the Coaches Poll to No. 19.

The Georgia Bulldogs retained the top spot in both polls after a 24-14 home victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks. Georgia fell behind 14-3 at halftime, but rallied in the second half for their 20th-consecutive victory dating back to the 2021 season.

The top five in the AP Poll is Georgia (1), Michigan (2), Texas (3), Florida State (4), and USC (5). The Coaches Poll is led by Georgia (1), Michigan (2), Florida State (3), Ohio State (4), and USC (5).

The Kansas State Wildcats dropped out of both polls following a loss on the road at Missouri this weekend.
