In week one, we have a few changes to the JFP Top 25 Football Poll. Georgia falls after a loss to Clemson. TCU falls after a close loss to LSU.

The Bulldogs and the Horned Frogs fell in Top 25 matchups. Boise State got blown out on the road against Washington but the Huskies are always tough at home.

Oregon State and Kansas State fall out of the poll after losing to FCS teams. The Beavers and the Wildcats are the first team to fall out of the 2013 JFP Top 25 Poll and open the door for Ole Miss to enter at the 25 spot and Washington at the 24 spot.

Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
