Published Sun. Oct 5th, 2025 Penn State, Texas Losses Create Major Top Ten Shakeup

The Nittany Lions and Longhorn defeats opened the door for some unexpected newcomers to the top ten in the Billingsley Report. Alabama, Texas A&M and Oklahoma benefitted greatly. The Penn State 42-37 loss to UCLA was shocking. It seems as though the Nittany Lions just left their heart on the field last week in the loss to Oregon. The Texas loss was not as surprising in the sense that it was an obvious trap game , going to the swamp to play a good Florida squad the week before they play Oklahoma, but still, it is a game Texas should have been better prepared for.
Around the Nation: Miami (Fla.)'s win over arch rival Florida State jumped the Hurricane back to #1 this week with Ohio State just a fraction of a point from taking the top spot themselves. Iowa State fell from the list of undefeated teams as thee Cyclones traveled to Cincinnati and left a 38-30 loser. Texas Tech continues to surprise everyone, now sporting a 5-0 record after beating Houston 35-11. Vanderbilt had Alabama on the ropes but threw an interception in the red zone which would have given them the lead and solid momentum. The Commodores just never seemed to recover and Alabama walked away with a 30-14 win. Oklahoma destroyed Kent State 44-0 as expected, but now I'm putting the Sooners on upset alert. I promise you a different Texas team will take the field next Saturday.
Enjoy you week. Projections will post Tuesday.
