- Ole Miss and Mississippi State are poised for climbs after key wins.
- Texas A&M faces a steep fall after an unexpected home upset loss.
College football fans should prepare for substantial changes in the national rankings as Week 4 approaches. Both the Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25 are anticipated to reflect significant shifts, particularly within the top ten.
The Coaches Poll will be released around 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, September 20th. Following this, the Associated Press will unveil its official poll around 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the same day.
Teams like Ole Miss are expected to jump significantly after a strong performance against LSU, positioning them as SEC contenders. Florida and Mississippi State are also set to move up after crucial road victories, likely earning them spots in the top 25.
Conversely, LSU may see a minor dip in the rankings following their loss. However, Texas A&M is expected to face a more severe drop after a surprising upset loss at home to Kentucky, potentially jeopardizing their playoff hopes.
Houston might fall out of the rankings after a narrow loss, while Texas Tech, following their victory, could ascend closer to the top ten.
