AP college football poll reaction: What's next for each Top 25 team? - ESPN

The new AP Top 25 college football poll is out. And a Saturday full of upsets — four top-11 teams lost to unranked foes — means big shake-ups all over the new rankings.

Last week's No. 1, Alabama, was stunned by Vanderbilt, the Commodores' first win over a top-five team in 61 tries and their first win over Alabama since 1984. No. 4 Tennessee lost at Arkansas, No. 10 Michigan lost to Washington and No. 11 USC lost at Minnesota.

Elsewhere, Texas A&M made a huge statement after tying for the No. 25 spot last week. The Aggies routed then-No. 9 Missouri 41-10 to skyrocket up the rankings.
