We're somehow already through the first two—well, technically three—weeks of the college football season, and there continues to be plenty of risers and fallers across the board. Specifically, in the AP's Top 25 poll, which was released again on Sunday afternoon.

The Oregon Ducks were the most notable beneficiaries of the poll, jumping to No. 4 in the rankings after their 69-3 beatdown of Oklahoma State. The most notable crashers, meanwhile, were Michigan—who dropped eight spots to No. 23 after their 24-13 loss to Oklahoma—and Clemson, who, despite pulling out a win over Troy, fell out of the top 10 to No. 12.

Other notable shifts include Florida State's climb into the top 10 following a 77-3 win over East Texas A&M, Tennessee jumping seven spots to No. 15 after stomping East Tennessee State, and Georgia falling from No. 4 to No. 6 even after beating Austin Peay.
