AP Top 25 Poll Week 8 Prediction, 2024 College Football Rankings

Will Oregon move up to 1?

A case could be made that it should - its win over Ohio State is better than what Texas did against Oklahoma, but that should hold firm.

But what about Alabama? How about a Tennessee team that had to fight and claw? Does LSU get more credit after the win over Ole Miss, and will Penn State receive a little more respect after coming away from USC with a win?

Here's our call on the latest AP Top 25 poll before it's released on Sunday.
