Alabama held onto to its reigns as the No. 1 team in the country after the Crimson Tide took down then-No. 3 Florida State, 24-7 on Saturday. The Seminoles dropped to fell seven spots to come in at No. 10 in the Associated Press college football poll.
The Crimson Tide collected 60 of 61 first-place votes with No. 2 Ohio State getting the lone first-place vote. Defending national champion Clemson, Penn State and Oklahoma all jumped two spots to round out the top 5.
With the Sooners now in the top 5, that means that for the second consecutive week, there will be a top 5 matchup as Oklahoma goes on the road to take on Ohio State.
Michigan made one of the biggest jumps after defeating then-No. 17 Florida, 33-17, to check in at No. 8. Both No. 23 TCU and No. 24 Notre Dame moved into the rankings with West Virginia and Texas dropping out.
Here’s how the rest of the poll looks …
