Biggest risers
AP voters elevated Michigan up one spot to No. 2 after its 45-23 demolition of hated enemy Ohio State on Saturday. The Wolverines received five first-place votes, but that wasn’t enough to overtake Georgia. The Bulldogs who remained in the top spot for an eight straight week after blasting rival Georgia Tech. Also being rewarded this week is USC, who is up to No. 4 after handling Notre Dame 38-27. The Trojans crack the top five in the AP poll for the first time since 2017.
The biggest riser in the poll this week is Oregon State, who jumped up six spots to No. 16 after storming back from a steep deficit to defeat Oregon in the Civil War. Four newcomers to the poll this week include No. 17 UCLA, No. 20 South Carolina, No. 23 UTSA, and No. 25 Mississippi State.
Biggest fallers
LSU and Oregon suffered inexplicable losses on Saturday and both fell five spots, the Tigers down to No. 11 and the Ducks down to No. 15. The Tigers cost themselves a shot as a potential College Football Playoff participant while the Ducks cost themselves a Pac-12 Championship Game bid.
There bigger fallers this week as Notre Dame dropped down six spots to No. 19 after the aforementioned USC loss and North Carolina fell six spots to No. 24 after dropping a Black Friday thriller to NC State.
