In Austin, Texas, there’s a buzz in the air as the Longhorns have climbed to the **_No. 1_** spot in the latest AP Poll, marking their first time at the top since October 2008. The team is off to an impressive **_3-0_** start this season, showcasing their strength with a solid win against a top-10 opponent just two weeks ago. This remarkable rise has fans reminiscing about what music was topping the charts back then, notably T.I. and Britney Spears.
The Longhorns have surpassed Georgia, who narrowly defeated an unranked Kentucky team by only **_one point_** on the road. With rising stars like Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning taking turns at quarterback, the Texas offense has been unstoppable. They are making plays that keep opponents on their toes, echoing the catchy energy of T.I.’s hits from 2008.
The chaos of the Big 12 is evident, with several teams jostling for position right below the top 10. Kansas State has pushed up to **_No. 13_** after a win against then-No. 20 Arizona, while Oklahoma State has fallen to **_No. 14_**. Utah remains steady at **_No. 12_** as they prep to visit Oklahoma State soon, setting the stage for thrilling matchups in the quest for the Big 12 title.
In other noteworthy developments from Week 3, only two top-25 teams suffered losses—Arizona and Boston College, resulting in them dropping out of the rankings. In their place, **_No. 24 Illinois_** and **_No. 25 Texas A&M_** have entered the top 25. Illinois maintains an undefeated record at **_3-0_** and has bested a ranked Kansas team, while Texas A&M made a strong comeback against Florida, all while utilizing a backup quarterback.
The excitement continues to build as the College GameDay preview show gears up to head to Oklahoma for **_Week 4_**. Fans are eager to see how these matchups unfold and what new changes the rankings might bring.
