LSU climbs into top 10 while Michigan falls out of top 30 in CBS Sports 138 rankings
After Week 1 results, LSU moved up to No. 6, Oregon slipped to No. 8, and Michigan dropped out of the top 30 in the weekly CBS Sports 138 FBS rankings.
Week 1 outcomes prompted notable shifts in the CBS Sports 138 college-football rankings. LSU rose from No. 10 to No. 6, posting an average ballot rating of 5.2 and positioning the Tigers near No. 5 Notre Dame. Oregon dropped from No. 2 to No. 8, moving out of the previously defined top-seven tier. Michigan, after a 13-12 win over Western Michigan, fell out of the top 30, landing in the 30-50 range.
The rankings, compiled from weekly ballots submitted by CBS Sports and 247Sports analysts, reflect the first full week of play, including starting quarterback assignments and actual game results. Other notable movers include Memphis, which jumped 26 spots to No. 46 after a 2-0 start, and Virginia, which rose 12 places to No. 25 following a dominant win over NC State.
"There’s no way to carry the same rating or ranking for Michigan from Week 1 to Week 2 after watching that offensive performance against Western Michigan," a CBS Sports analyst wrote.
The updated top-25 list now features Ohio State, Texas, Miami, Georgia, Notre Dame, LSU, Indiana, Oregon, Oklahoma, USC, Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, BYU, Penn State, Tennessee, SMU, Iowa, Florida, Washington, Utah, Missouri, Louisville and Virginia.
