Indiana takes No. 1 spot in AP Top 25 for first time in history
Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers celebrate after the Indiana versus Ohio State Big Ten Championship football game at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025. Undefeated Indiana sits atop the Associated Press Top 25 football poll for the first time in school history after its 13-10 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game Saturday night.
In this week's poll, released Sunday morning, the Hoosiers earned all 66 first-place votes as they booted the Buckeyes out of first place for the first time after 14 weeks.
Georgia, which won the Southeastern Conference title game over Alabama on Saturday, moved to No. 2, with Ohio State falling to No. 3 and Big 12 champ Texas Tech slotted in at No 4.
In the voting, Georgia finished just 12 points ahead of Ohio State.
Before this season, Indiana had not ranked higher than No. 4.
At this stage of the campaign, the poll takes a back seat to the decisions of the College Football Playoff committee, which will announce the 12 teams that will vie for the national championship early Sunday afternoon.
Here are the top 25 teams, with records included.
1. Indiana, 13-0
2. Georgia, 12-1
3. Ohio State, 12-1
4. Texas Tech, 12-1
