Following a lively Week 1 of college football action, the AP has released its first Top 25 poll of the 2025 season.
The first in-season poll ranks the Ohio State Buckeyes at No. 1, with Penn State at No. 2 and LSU at No. 3.
Originally No.25 in the AP preseason poll, Boise State is understandably absent from this week's rankings after being trounced by the South Florida Bulls, 34-7. Boise State finished the 2024 season ranked No.8 by the AP.
Unranked UNLV was the sole Mountain West Conference squad to receive votes in the updated AP poll.
