The Bulldogs were voted first on all but three of the 64 coaches’ ballots this week. Michigan, which dominated start to finish at Minnesota, remains second No. 3 Ohio State was challenged early but took charge in the second half against Maryland, a performance deemed strong enough for the Buckeyes to retain a pair of first-place votes.

Florida State is back up to No. 4 after handling Virginia Tech. Penn State vaults into the fifth spot, giving the Big Ten three top five teams. The final No. 1 nod went to Washington, which is now the highest ranked Pac-12 squad at No. 6 on the eve of next week’s showdown with No. 8 Oregon. USC survived its late-night contest with Arizona in triple overtime but slips a couple positions to No. 9.

Oklahoma jumps five places to No. 7 after taking down then-No. 4 Texas. It’s the first top-10 appearance of the season for the Sooners, while the Longhorns fall to No. 11 behind Alabama – yes, the same Alabama team they beat in Tuscaloosa in Week 2.
