After five of the top 11 teams in the Associated Press Poll lost, my AP ballot was literally turned upside down compared to last week.
Alabama and Tennessee dropped nine spots on my ballot, Missouri dropped 10 spots, and Michigan and USC completely dropped out of my Top 25 with their second losses of the season.
New to my Top 25 this week: Texas A&M, Boise State, SMU and Illinois. Here’s my AP Top 25 ballot compared with Action Network senior writer Collin Wilson’s betting power ratings.
Note: The “AP” column is my AP Poll ballot ranking for each team. The “PR” column is where each team sits in Action Network’s betting power ratings.

Collin also put four teams in the top 25 of his betting power ratings that were not on my ballot: No. 18 USC, No. 19 Auburn, No. 22 Louisville and No. 24 Florida.
