Georgia again is a unanimous No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, released Sunday, which saw Alabama jump over Cincinnati into the No. 2 spot and previously undefeated Oklahoma take a big tumble.
The Bulldogs (10-0) claimed 1,550 points and all 62 first-place votes, while Alabama (9-1) tallied 1,449 points to 1,420 for Cincinnati (10-0).
Oklahoma (9-1), No. 4 last week, fell to No. 12 following its 27-14 loss to Baylor (8-2). Previously No. 18, the Bears climbed to No. 11 after defeating the Sooners.
With Oklahoma’s loss, the rest of the top 10 largely moved up one spot.
Oregon (9-1), No. 5 last week, rose to No. 4, followed by Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Michigan and Oklahoma State, all of which are 9-1. Ole Miss (8-2) moved to No. 10 following its 29-19 win over Texas A&M.
The Aggies (7-3) dropped five spots to No. 16 with the loss.
Otherwise, the poll results stayed largely the same, with just a few changes.
No. 21 Arkansas (7-3) and No. 23 San Diego State (9-1) re-entered the Top 25, joined by Utah (7-3) at No. 24. With losses, Penn State, Auburn and Coastal Carolina fell out.
Penn State was 5-0 and ranked No. 4 on Oct. 3, six days before a 23-20 loss to Iowa started a downward spiral. The Nittany Lions have lost four of their past five games.
