Hurricanes Storm to No. 2 as Bulldogs Tumble

Miami's seven-spot surge shakes up the Top 25 while Georgia slides and Indiana holds court at No. 1.

The Hoosiers sit alone at the summit, 16-0 and unmoved from their perch atop the poll — but everything beneath them got rearranged. The Hurricanes rocketed from No. 10 to No. 2, the kind of jump that tells you the voters saw something they couldn't ignore.

The Bulldogs' fall from No. 2 to No. 6 is the poll's loudest statement — a four-place drop that reshuffles the entire chase pack. The Rebels and Ducks each climbed a spot to Nos. 3 and 4, while the Buckeyes (No. 5), Red Raiders (No. 7), and Sooners (No. 13) all slid, proving how thin the margin is once you stumble.

Three newcomers crashed the party: the Hawkeyes at No. 17, the Cougars at No. 22, and the Horned Frogs at No. 25. The Cavaliers quietly leapt four spots to No. 16, and the Longhorns nudged up to No. 12. With Indiana flawless and Miami surging, the race at the top just got a lot more interesting.
