Ohio State (8) and Washington State (10) moved into the top 10. The loss to Georgia dropped Florida in the rankings and Texas fell out of the top 10 by losing to Oklahoma State.
The only two teams ranked in the top 25 with three losses are from the SEC. Is anybody surprised?
Mississippi State is ranked No. 21 at 5-3 and Texas A&M is at No. 25 with the same record. The SEC also has seven teams ranked and that’s about what most of us have come to expect.

The first College Football Playoff Poll will be coming out soon and often it is similar to the AP Poll. Here are a few observations if the committee members are thinking along the lines of the AP voters.
First, the SEC is a virtual lock once again to have a team in the final four, and possibly two. Even if Alabama were to get upset by LSU they would probably be included along with the conference champion.
It seems like Notre Dame is close to being a lock to make the playoff. The Irish have an easy schedule from here on in and of course don’t have to play a conference championship game.
If Boston College can’t defeat Clemson no other ACC team will so they are in.
Next. Who’s up, who’s down in the Big Ten after week 9. dark
Well there you have it, the AP Poll Week 10. The November stretch drive is about to begin and upsets may happen so things could change and soon.
