College Football Rankings, Week 3: BYU Enters AP Top 25 At No. 25

The Alabama Crimson Tide remains the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 Poll, but there are four new entrants this week at the back end: UCLA, Tennessee, Arizona and BYU take Nos. 22 through 25. This comes after a Saturday of college football that saw Louisiana-Monroe defeat then-No. 8 Arkansas, the No. 13 Wisconsin Badgers fall on the road to the Oregon St. Beavers, the No. 16 Nebraska Cornhuskers lose to UCLA and the No. 18 Oklahoma St. Sooners dropped a game to Arizona.

The top four of Alabama, USC, LSU and Oregon remains the same while Florida State and Oklahoma are tied at No. 5.

BYU beat Weber State to improve to 2-0 on the season. They beat out the Boise St. Broncos, still the first team out of the top 25. The Broncos had the week off but moved up to 106 votes. They lost to Michigan State to open the season and will play the Miami (OH) RedHawks on Saturday.
