AP Top 25 NCAA football list is out after an opening weekend that featured a few surprises.

Falling out of the Top 25 was USC and that came after a 19-17 win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers; a win that wasn’t impressive enough to convince voters to keep them on the list.

LSU jumped to No. 2 after running over No. 3 Oregon 40-27. That loss dropped Oregon all the way down to No. 13.

Off the list prior to the past weekend, Baylor, South Florida, Texas and Penn State all were added after their wins.

Here’s the AP Top 25 list.
