In college football, the latest AP Top 25 poll delivered a major shakeup as Miami (Florida) vaulted to No. 2, leapfrogging LSU and Penn State after a commanding 26-7 win over Florida. It is the Hurricanes’ highest ranking since 2017, underscoring their strong 4-0 start. Ohio State retained the top spot at 3-0 despite being idle this week.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma surged back into the Top 10 (No. 7) following a key victory over Auburn — their first time in the top tier since 2023. Other notable risers include Indiana, which demolished Illinois 63-10 to climb from the mid-teens to near the Top 10, and Texas Tech, which continued its upward trajectory after defeating Utah. Teams like Auburn and Utah slid out of the rankings entirely as the race for playoff positioning intensifies.

In the NFL, Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to their first win of the season, defeating the New York Giants 22-9 at MetLife Stadium. Mahomes threw for 224 yards and a touchdown, while kicker Harrison Butker nailed three field goals (54, 48 and 28 yards). The Chiefs’ defense was pivotal, intercepting Giants quarterback Russell Wilson twice and limiting New York to just one touchdown drive. The loss drops the Giants to 0-3, placing early pressure on their season.
