October 28, 2025

WHAT IS THE TOP 25 POLL

Each week of the regular season, the College Football 26 Top 25 poll will be updated in-game to reflect the performances from last week’s slate. This poll is a unique ranking list straight from the College Football 26 studio. Hop into CFB26 today, and play as some of the biggest movers from this past week!

BIGGEST MOVERS

Ole Miss Rebels | #6

  • The Rebels came back from a disappointing loss to Georgia the previous week and took down a one-loss Sooners team. Trinidad Chambliss led the pack with another successful passing day as well as rushing. With a significant ranked win under their belt, Ole Miss are moving full steam ahead towards a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Louisville Cardinals | #16

  • After yet another dominant game on the ground, the Cardinals continue to show they are a top competitor in the ACC. After taking down Miami last week, they racked up 317 yards on the ground against Boston College in another impressive performance. If they continue to pick up more wins like this, they’ll only see their rankings rise.

Memphis Tigers | #19

  • For most of the season, Memphis was considered to be a top option to represent the Group of Five in the College Football Playoff. Those hopes were looking slim after an upset loss to UAB. However, they staged a great comeback to upset USF in a back-and-forth AAC matchup to move ahead of USF in the latest rankings.
