Is Texas ... back?!

Maybe not exactly, but the Longhorns were able to fend off a 21-point, fourth-quarter barrage from the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday afternoon and—behind a 328-yard, three-touchdown performance from Arch Manning—came away with a 34-31 win and a massive boost in this week's AP Top 25 poll.

Elsewhere in the NCAA, Ohio State and Indiana took care of business as the nation's top two teams. Three former top-10 clubs in Georgia Tech, Miami, and the aforementioned Vandy, all lost—the former two to unranked opponents. Additionally, Hugh Freeze was fired by Auburn on Sunday after falling to Kentucky, Bill Belichick got his first ACC win, and Utah used its College GameDay boost to smoke Cincinnati 45–14.

Needless to say, there was quite the shake up in this weeks rankings. Here’s a look at the latest AP Top 25 poll:
