The top two teams remain the same, but three new teams – Kansas State, Florida and Norte Dame – joined them in the top 5 after losses by South Carolina and West Virginia.
For another week, The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Oregon Ducks are sitting at No. 1 and No. 2 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, but for the second week in a row there was shakeup behind them.
WIth the losses by the South Carolina Gamecocks and West Virginia Mountaineers, No. 3 Kansas State Wildcats, No. 4 Florida Gators, No. 5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and No. 6 LSU Tigers each improved two spots from last week. South Carolina fell to No. 8 after losing to LSU and West Virginia slipped all the way to No. 15 after losing to Texas Tech.
The No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners moved up after dominating the Texas Longhorns, who dropped out of the rankings. The No. 9 USC Trojans and No. 10 Florida State Seminoles complete the top 10.
Those Texas Tech Red Raiders jumped into the rankings at No. 20 after the win over West Virginia. Also joining the rankings this week were the No. 24 Arizona State Sun Devils and No. 25 Michigan Wolverines.
