Oklahoma fell to No. 5 because of LSU’s move up while Ohio State also dropped a spot to No. 6. Both teams had easy wins on Saturday against lesser opponents.
Michigan fell from No. 7 to No. 10 after a double-overtime win over Army at home while Texas A&M dropped from No. 12 to No. 16 after losing on the road at No. 1 Clemson.
Washington fell nine spots to No. 23 after a 20-19 home loss to Cal. The game finished after 4 a.m. ET because of a three-hour thunderstorm delay.
