Alabama remains the consensus number one and received all but three first place votes. The Crimson Tide had a bye this weekend and  have a huge date with number 6 Texas A&M next Saturday in College Station. Oregon is still second after cruising to a 59-10 stomping of Virginia. The Ducks received one first place vote and play host to Tennessee next week. Clemson and Ohio State switched spots in the polls and each received one first place vote. The Tigers are now ranked third and the Buckeyes fourth. Stanford rounds out the top five after opening their season with a win at home over San Jose State.

Number 9 Georgia is the lone one-loss team in the top 10. The Bulldogs lost their season opener to Clemson but bounced back with a huge 41-30 victory Saturday against South Carolina, who was ranked sixth at the time. The Gamecocks fell seven spots to number 13.

Miami (FL) surged to 15th in the polls after upsetting the 12th ranked Florida Gators at home. Florida dropped to number 18 and has a bye week before hosting Tennessee September 21.

Ole Miss finds itself in the top 25 for the first time this season after starting their campaign with two wins. The Rebels and Hurricanes took the spots vacated by Texas and USC, who were both upset on Saturday. The Longhorns got blown out on the road by BYU 40-21 and the Trojans put up just seven points in a 10-7 defeat to Washington State at the Coliseum.
