AP Top 25 college football poll reaction

The AP Top 25 college football poll is out, and after a wild weekend of games, there’s some movement high in the rankings. Here’s what’s next for each ranked team:

What you need to know: The Bearcats’ playoff profile won’t get much help from the AAC this year, so Luke Fickell’s team needs to keep dominating. Two games with more than 50 points scored is an excellent start. Cincinnati’s defense remains its engine, but a balanced and efficient offense will make it harder to poke holes in the Bearcats’ CFP candidacy. They now travel to Navy, which is 1-5 and is lost on offense but also is always capable of creating headaches for its…
