Florida rocketed up 14 spots in the latest top 25 poll from The Associated Press, moving all the way up to No. 11 after their stunning upset of Ole Miss on Saturday. The Gators came in one spot higher than Florida State, who despite remaining undefeated fell for the second straight week, this time to No. 12.
Ohio State remained No. 1 and tied a poll record Sunday, despite lagging support from the voters.
Meanwhile, No. 2 TCU and No. 3 Baylor edged forward, No. 4 Michigan State slipped and No. 5 Utah and No. 6 Clemson took big jumps.
After four top-10 teams lost on Saturday, the rankings were rattled and five teams received first-place votes. The Buckeyes received 38 first-place votes, their fewest this season after beginning as the first unanimous preseason No. 1. TCU has five first-place votes, Baylor received 10, Utah has seven and No. 9 Texas A&M has one.
Ohio State was the only team in the top 16 to have the same ranking this week as last.
The Buckeyes held off Indiana 34-27 on Saturday and have now been top-ranked 101 times, matching Oklahoma for the most in the 79-year history of the media poll.
