Florida State dropped one spot in the first Associated Press poll of the season, slipping to No. 11 after Notre Dame jumped both the Seminoles and Georgia.

The Seminoles throttled Texas State 59-16 in their season opener Saturday in Tallahassee and will host instate foe USF this weekend.

The Southeastern Conference ended up with a record 10 teams ranked, including the entire West division.

Ohio State remained a unanimous No. 1 after pulling away 42-24 at Virginia Tech on Monday night.

The SEC already held the record for most teams from one conference in the Top 25 with eight, a mark it matched in the preseason. After the conference went 12-1 to open the season, No. 16 Texas A&M and No. 25 Mississippi State moved into the poll to go with the eight teams already there.

Alabama moved up a spot to No. 2. The rest of the SEC roll call is: No. 6 Auburn, No. 10 Georgia, No. 14 LSU, No. 17 Mississippi, No. 18 Arkansas, No. 20 Missouri and No. 23 Tennessee.
