Oregon and Georgia are up, Texas is down and Alabama is way, way down in the USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-134.

The Ducks are the new No. 1 after Georgia rises three spots to No. 2 after the Bulldogs’ 30-15 win in Austin. That loss sends Texas down six spots to No. 7.

That drop reflects the Longhorns’ uninspiring strength of schedule. While wins Michigan and Oklahoma came when both teams were ranked, the Wolverines and Sooners have since dropped out of the College Football Playoff picture.

While the Bulldogs looked the part of the nation’s best team beating Texas on the road, the Ducks hold the edge thanks to an unbeaten record and this month’s win against Ohio State.

The Buckeyes stay at No. 3, followed by No. 4 Penn State, No. 5 Miami and No. 6 Iowa State.

Tennessee moves up three to No. 10 after beating Alabama 24-17. That’s two losses this month for the Crimson Tide sandwiching a narrow win against South Carolina.

That drops the Tide five spots to No. 16 and into fifth among SEC teams, trailing the Bulldogs, Longhorns, No. 9 LSU, the Volunteers and No. 15 Texas A&M. Alabama next takes on No. 23 Missouri.
