Texas
Texas rises as a result of Alabama’s loss at Vanderbilt. We waffled back and forth on the Longhorns last week whether they should be No. 1, but it’s clear this deeply talented team deserves the top spot after consistently out-classing every opponent on the schedule, including a blowout of Michigan on the road. The Red River Rivalry is a big test for the now-healthy Quinn Ewers. Will he show any rust after missing three weeks with an abdominal injury? The Longhorns have challengers waiting below to take No. 1.

Ohio State
The Buckeyes were supposed to be tested by Iowa’s defense. That didn’t really happen. They next travel to Oregon for the right to stand atop the Big Ten midway through the season. How good is Ohio State? We’ll find out this week, but for now, they’re on a historic pace with five straight wins by 28-plus points for the first time in school history, a start that hasn’t happened in the Big Ten since Wisconsin in 2011. Will Howard scored more touchdowns (five) than he had incomplete passes (four), and Jeremiah Smith became the first freshman in Big Ten history with a touchdown reception in their first five games since 2005 during the 35-7 win last week.
