Oregon ascended to the top spot in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time in school history, moving up after Ohio State lost 31-18 at Wisconsin on Saturday night.
ICONLaMichael James and the Ducks are the AP's new No. 1 team.
Oregon is the 43rd team to hold the No. 1 spot in the AP poll, which dates to 1936. The last time a team was No. 1 for the first time was 20 years ago, when Virginia rose to No. 1 on Oct. 14, 1990.
Ohio State’s loss came a week after then-No. 1 Alabama was beaten by South Carolina. Oregon will try to avoid becoming the third straight No. 1 team to lose when it hosts UCLA on Thursday night.
Here is a look at the complete poll.
And don’t forget that the new NFP Top 25 will be posted late Monday afternoon.
