Georgia remains No. 1 following its decisive win against then-No. 10 Mississippi. The Bulldogs received 58 of 64 first-place votes. No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 Ohio State, both also winning impressively on Saturday, picked up three firsts apiece as there head-to-head showdown is now less than two weeks away. The Wolverines are now just 12 poll points ahead of the Buckeyes for the second spot.
No. 4 Florida State and No. 5 Washington hold steady after surviving close contests to keep their respective records clean. Oregon, Texas and Alabama stay put in the next three positions, with the Crimson Tide closing to within 10 points of the Longhorns.
