College football rankings for week 4 of the 2024 season have been released. The Texas Longhorns took over the top spot in the AP Poll for the first time in 16 years.

The Texas Longhorns (3-0) moved up one spot in the AP Poll after rolling over the UTSA Roadrunners at home, 56-7. Texas switched spots with the Georgia Bulldogs (3-0), who dropped from the top spot after surviving an upset bid on the road against the Kentucky Wildcats, 13-12.

Rounding out the top five in the AP Poll is Ohio State in third, Alabama in fourth, and Ole Miss in fifth.

Georgia remains the top-ranked team in the latest Coaches Poll. Texas is next at No. 2, and the Longhorns are followed by Ohio State (3), Alabama (4), and Ole Miss (5).

Arizona (20) dropped out of both polls this week while Boston College dropped out of the AP Poll and Washington fell from the Coaches Poll.
