As such, ESPN analyst <strong>Joey Galloway<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ajxVZ81I8eE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">released his updated top five teams<\/a> from what we\u2019ve seen so far.<\/p>\n<p>Some are the suspects that we expected to be there at the beginning of the season, while a couple of others have climbed massive heights to get here. There\u2019s still a ton more football to be played and we\u2019ll see who ultimately makes the list at the end of the season. <\/p>\n<p>For now, you can enjoy Joey Galloway\u2019s top five teams as of this moment, which is headlined by Ohio State.

They knocked off No. 1 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/texas-longhorns\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Texas<\/a><\/strong> in the season opener and have been rolling ever since, currently sitting with a 6-0 record. <\/p>\n<p>The Buckeyes are coming off of another top 25 win this past week after taking down No. 17 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/illinois-fighting-illini\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Illinois<\/a><\/strong> by a score of 34-16. They\u2019ve been one of the top defenses in the country and rank first in points allowed per game (6.8) and third in yards allowed per play (3.9). <\/p>\n<p>Miami also had high expectations entering this season after bringing in quarterback <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/carson-beck-18711\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carson Beck<\/a><\/strong> and a number of others through the transfer portal. So far Beck has looked impressive, throwing for 1,213 yards and 11 touchdowns to three interceptions while completing an ACC-high 73.4% of his passes. <\/p>\n<p>Beck helped Georgia reach the SEC Championship game last year and has his sights set on a conference title with the Hurricanes. Miami already has three top 25 wins this season against <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/notre-dame-fighting-irish\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Notre Dame<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/sites\/bulls-insider\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">USF<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/florida-state-seminoles\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Florida State<\/a><\/strong>, which is good enough for second in Joey Galloway\u2019s rankings.<\/p>\n<p>The Aggies have announced their arrival as contenders in just the second season under coach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/coach\/mike-elko-132763\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Elko<\/a><\/strong>. They\u2019ve rolled through the first half of the season to a 6-0 (3-0 SEC) record and show no signs of slowing down. <\/p>\n<p>Texas A&amp;M has no shortage of offensive weapons, able to air it out with quarterback <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/marcel-reed-82333\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marcel Reed<\/a><\/strong> or hand it off to one of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/rueben-owens-102717\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rueben Owens<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/leveon-moss-78750\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Le\u2019Veon Moss<\/a><\/strong>. The schedule also sets itself up well for the Aggies to get to the College Football Playoff, with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/lsu-tigers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LSU<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/missouri-tigers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Missouri<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/texas-longhorns\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Texas<\/a><\/strong> the toughest remaining tests. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/indiana-hoosiers-1024x538.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3824587\"  \/>Troy Wayrynen-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>No one wanted to believe the Hoosiers could do it again, yet here we are.

Indiana has gotten through the toughest part of its schedule and has a good chance to run the table the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p>Many were ready to declare Alabama dead after a season-opening loss to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/florida-state-seminoles\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Florida State<\/a><\/strong>. That now looks like an extreme overreaction as all the Crimson Tide have done since is win, reeling off five straight victories. <\/p>\n<p>Alabama has won three straight games against ranked opponents, including beating <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/georgia-bulldogs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Georgia<\/a><\/strong> in Athens, to land the final spot on Joey Galloway\u2019s top five.
