A crazy slate of Week 1 games led to some upheaval in the AP Top 25, with Houston up to No. 6 after toppling Oklahoma, and Wisconsin and Texas debuting following big wins of their own. 

The Badgers debut at No. 10 after surprising LSU, and the Longhorns show up at No. 11 following the big win against Notre Dame.

As far as the Week 1 losers, Oklahoma is down to No. 14, Notre Dame falls to No. 18, and LSU drops all the way from No. 5 to No. 21.

Also enjoying a leap is Washington, up to No. 8 from 14 after demolishing Rutgers. Tennessee slips to No. 17 fro No. 9 after an unconvincing win over lowly Appalachian State.
