The top five remained unchanged, with Alabama staying as college football’s number one, receiving 55 first-place votes, one less than last week. Oregon is second and picked up the other five first-place votes, gaining one from the previous poll. Clemson, Ohio State and Stanford round out the top five.

Georgia moved up three spots to number six after defeating LSU in a wild back-and-forth game. The Tigers slid to 10th following the loss. Louisville and Florida State remain seventh and eighth, respectively, and Texas A&M moved from 10th up to ninth.

The middle of the rankings provided the most movement. Oklahoma moved up three spots to 11th after beating Notre Dame on the road, knocking the Irish out of the top 25. UCLA and South Carolina swapped spots in the polls after the Gamecocks narrowly escaped unranked Central Florida. Miami (FL), Washington and Northwestern all moved up one position and are ranked 14th-16th at 4-0 apiece. Baylor and Florida both moved ahead two spots to 17th and 18th, while Michigan moved down a ranking after its bye week.

Texas Tech had the biggest upward trend, from 24th to 20th thanks to its win over Texas State, bringing the Red Raiders to 4-0 this year. Oklahoma State slid the furthest, dropping from 11th all the way to 21st after losing to unranked West Virginia.

Arizona State is back in the top 25 at number 22 on the heel of a dominant win over USC. It’s followed by Fresno State and Ole Miss, which suffered its first loss of the season to Alabama but remain in the polls. Maryland is 4-0 and in the top 25 for the first time since January 2011 according to the Testudo Times. The Terrapins have a huge game next weekend against ACC rival and No. 8 Florida State. Wisconsin joins Notre Dame as the lone teams knocked out of the top 25.
