After Week 4 of college football, the latest AP Top 25 rankings are coming up fast.

Nineteen ranked teams and plenty of hopefuls took the field on Saturday in a slate featuring three ranked matchups.

No. 17 Texas Tech won the turnover battle in a 34-10 road victory against No. 16 Utah, and No. 11 Oklahoma handed No. 22 Auburn a 24-17 loss.

But the most shocking outcome of the day came from the Big Ten, with No. 19 Indiana rolling past No. 9 Illinois 63-10.

The winners made convincing arguments to move up in the poll — but how far?

Six AP Top 25 teams had the week off

No. 1 Ohio State, No. 2 Penn State, No. 5 Georgia, No. 10 Texas A&M, No. 12 Iowa State and No. 14 Alabama all had the benefit of an early bye.

What does it mean for the rankings? Ohio State and Penn State are likely safe in the top two, but there could be some fluctuation after that.

Voters don’t typically penalize a team for having the week off, but statement wins could reshuffle standings from the mid-level on down.
