Entering Michigan Stadium on Saturday for a massive non-conference tilt and leaving with heads held high after humbling reigning national champion Michigan convincingly, 31-12, the Texas Longhorns did enough to impact Sunday's updated college football polls and rankings. While coach Steve Sarkisian's team remained No. 3 in the Coaches Poll (one first-place vote and 30 points behind No. 2 Ohio State), Texas moved to No. 2 in the Associated Press Top 25.

Major changes to the latest Coaches Poll Top 25 after a drama-filled weekend in college football.

Meanwhile, the biggest upset of the season, so far, unfolded in South Bend, where Notre Dame suffered a shocking defeat to Northern Illinois, dealing a major blow to its College Football Playoff hopes.
