While Georgia remains the unquestioned No. 1,HAI Community the updated USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-134 undergoes a shakeup in the top five and beyond after an upset-heavy Week 2.

For starters, there’s a new No. 2 in Texas after the Longhorns’ 31-12 win at No. 25 Michigan. That move bumps Ohio State to No. 3 even as the Buckeyes have stormed out to wins against overmatched Akron and Western Michigan by a combined 108-6 score. While Alabama sticks at No. 4 after another closer-than-expected call against South Florida, Tennessee rockets to No. 5 after walloping North Carolina State 51-10 on a neutral field.

Two teams previously in the top five were sent tumbling down the 1-134. The first is Oregon, which drops six spots to No. 12 after beating Boise State 37-34. While a quality win against a tough Group of Five team, this joins the opener against Idaho as the second narrow win in a row for the Ducks.

And in the biggest move in this week’s re-rank, Notre Dame falls 16 spots to No. 21 after losing 16-14 to Northern Illinois. The win springboards the Huskies from No. 97 to No. 41.

Other teams climbing the 1-134 include Iowa State, which climbed to No. 14 after topping Iowa on a late field goal; No. 40 Syracuse, up 24 spots after beating Georgia Tech; No. 46 Washington State, risers after rolling over Texas Tech; and No. 54 Texas State, which was all over Texas-San Antonio in a 49-10 victory and rises 29 spots.

On the flip side, the Irish weren’t the only team sliding after Saturday. Others include No. 27 North Carolina State (down 10), No. 42 Georgia Tech (down 18), No. 62 Auburn (down 22), No. 69 Kentucky (down 31) and No. 84 Mississippi State (down 17).
