Week 8 of the 2025 college football season saw four of the nation's top-10 teams go down—one of which in upset, field-storming fashion—causing quite the shakeup in the latest AP Top 25.
Quarterback Diego Pavia hit the Heisman pose while his Vanderbilt Commodores took care of business over LSU, the once No. 2 Miami Hurricanes fell to their ACC rival Louisville Cardinals, Lane Kiffin's troll job of Kirby Smart wasn't enough as Ole Miss blew a fourth-quarter lead to Georgia, and Texas Tech—without quarterback Behren Morton—lost on the road to Arizona State, giving the Sun Devils their first win over a top-10 opponent since 2019.
Elsewhere across the NCAA, Bill Belichick lost again, James Franklin made a appearance less than a week after being fired by Penn State, and Curt Cignetti made a hilarious face in Indiana's win over Michigan State.
And with that, we head into Week 9 with a new AP Top 25 Poll. Here's a look at the latest rankings:
