There weren't many teams in the previous Top 25 to lose in their respective opener, leaving very little opportunity for movement in the poll.
One team that did make a notable jump, though, was the Auburn Tigers. Auburn found itself trailing for nearly the entirety of its showdown with then-No. 13 Oregon on Saturday. The Tigers fell behind within the first five minutes and spent the rest of the night attempting to stay within striking distance.
Led by freshman quarterback Bo Nix, Auburn scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth to complete a 15-point comeback. It wasn't until just nine seconds remained that the Tigers grabbed their first lead of the game.
The 27-21 victory over the Ducks was enough to elevate the Tigers to No. 13. Meanwhile, Oregon fell to No. 18 following the collapse.
Voters were less than impressed by the Florida Gators' 24-20 victory over the Miami Hurricanes, a come-from-behind win over its instate rival dropped Florida two spots to 10th in the latest poll.
Though they ultimately prevailed, the Iowa State Cyclones fell out of the rankings after needing triple overtime to defeat Northern Iowa. The Cyclones were previously ranked 24th.
Of note, the Northwestern Wildcats also fell out of the Top 25 following a 17-7 loss to Stanford, which stayed at 23rd.
Boise State and Nebraska were the newcomers to the poll in Week 2.
