Not too many changes up the top 25 of College Football through week 10, as Mississippi State and Florida State continue to occupy the top two spots. Below them things change, especially due to Auburn beating Ole Miss. The Tigers are now up to number three, while the Rebels fall down to #12, possibly taking them out of contention for the college football playoffs.

1. Mississippi State Bulldogs (45 First place votes), 8-0: Not the smoothest of wins, but beating Arkansas 17-10 is enough to keep them on top of the polls.
