This is a true claim. Oregon on October 12, 2024 battled against Ohio State at Autzen Stadium at 4:30. Sunday morning October 13 the AP poll came out where the AP voters vote on the Top 25 and after Oregons win against what was the #2 team in the nation they have moved up to #2 team in the country according to the AP poll.

Do you believe that Oregon should have moved up to first in the rankings after this massive win or is number two justified?

This is true. Since the Ohio state buckeyes lost the game, they were degraded to No.4 on the associated press poll (https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll ) and the Oregon ducks were moved up to No.2 on the rankings. This was also the case on ESPN (https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings).

This is proven to be true, writer from cbssports.com, Chip Patterson, explains that "Oregon moves past Ohio State to No. 2 as top 10 shuffles in CBS Sports 134." He claimed that after the victorious win over the Ohio State Buckeyes, led the Oregon Duck's football team to be nationally ranked at no.2. Despite Ohio State loosing, they're still nationally ranked no.3. College football rankings: Oregon moves past Ohio State to No. 2 as top 10 shuffles in CBS Sports 134 - CBSSports.com

According to my research, the statement that the University of Oregon's football team did move up in placement in the AP Polls top 25 after beating Ohio State on Saturday. This is very relevant and current news as it happened (at the time of writing this) 3 days ago and the article linked above was written the day after the game. The article is also from a reputable site, and written by a reputable author - Eric Olson who is an AP College Football Writer. All of this information leads me to believe that this claim is true.
