No changes in the elite four of the AP Poll’s top 25, keeping the unimpressive Florida State as the number one team in the nation, followed by Alabama, Oregon and still Mississippi State. Ole Miss fell 10 spots after their loss, which made sure they are just like Auburn now – in a position to spoil it for their big rivals in rivalry week and nothing more.

1. Florida State Seminoles (37 First Place Votes), 11-0: Despite the criticism and the unimpressive form, the Seminoles remain number one following their 20-17 win over Boston College.

2. Alabama Crimson Tide (21), 10-1: An easy afternoon against Western Carolina (48-14) didn’t move them anywhere.

3. Oregon Ducks (2), 10-1: Oregon served Colorado their annual beatdown at the hands of the Ducks, winning 44-10 while Marcus Mariota set some new records.

4. Mississippi State, 10-1: The Bulldogs had no problem beating Vanderbilt 51-0, remaining where they were a week ago.

6. TCU Horned Frogs, 9-1: Didn’t play, fell down a spot.

9. UCLA Bruins, 9-2: One win away from winning the Pac-12 South after beating USC 38-20, rising a couple of spots.

10. Michigan State, 9-2: Stayed put after a 45-3 win over Rutgers.

11. Kansas State Wildcats, 8-2: Came through with a tough 26-20 road win against West Virginia, moving them up one spot.

23. Clemson Tigers, 8-3: Back in the rankings following a win over Georgia State, beating them 28-0.

24. Louisville Cardinals, 8-3: Back in the top 25 after a narrow but important 31-28 win over Notre Dame.
