After an all-time comeback, Texas is your new top-ranked team in the country.
The Longhorns are No. 1 in Associated Press Top 25 rankings following a thrilling 24-23 win over then-No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday night. Texas scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to stun the Buckeyes who became the first No. 1 team since 1988 to blow a 20-point lead. It is the earliest Texas is ranked No. 1 in a regular season poll since 1965.
Ohio State (1-1) dropped to No. 6 in the new Top 25 rankings.
The Buckeyes weren't the only Big Ten team to take a big tumble in the polls. Oregon dropped from No. 6 to No. 21 after a shocking road loss to Oklahoma State. The Ducks started the season ranked No. 2 in the country before its precipitous fall.

All eyes will be on Oxford next weekend as No. 7 LSU travels to No. 8 Ole Miss in Lane Kiffin's hotly anticipated return to his former home.

SEC dominates top 10
Not only does the SEC have the new No. 1 team in the country, it has taken over the top 10. The SEC has a whopping six teams in this week's top 10. It is well deserved so far with how the league has fared, starting with a 16-0 Week 1 record and non-conference wins over Ohio State, Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Minnesota and Kansas in Week 2. The only disappointments for the conference were Oklahoma's loss to Michigan and Utah throttling Arkansas, 43-10.
The SEC will inevitably beat itself up as conference play begins -- the loser of LSU-Ole Miss is likely to drop out of the top 10 -- but it is the kind of strong early start the SEC needs ahead of the debut of a 9-game conference slate. The path to matching last season's five College Football Playoff teams is very much still there.
The SEC leads the way with nine total top 25 teams, edging out the Big Ten's seven and the ACC's four.
