Southern Cal retained their top spot following another bye week; Oklahoma wasn't able to do the same. The Sooners fell after Georgia defeated Arizona State 27-10 on Saturday. Florida, which defeated rival Tennessee, remained at No. 4. LSU moved back to the number five slot for the second time this season, after the Bengal Tigers defeated rival Auburn 26-21. More importantly, LSU may found a starting quarterback, after Jarrett Lee came on to lead his team back from a 14-3 halftime deficit. The SEC has three teams ranked in the top five for the second time this season.
Missouri, which after beating Illinois to start the season, has beaten Southeast Missouri State, Nevada and Buffalo, to 4-0. The Tigers have a week off before facing Nebraska in their conference opener. Texas, Wisconsin, Alabama and Penn State round out the top 10.
Texas Tech fell back two spots after moving to 4-0. The Red Raiders have a week off after their grueling stretch of D1-AA Eastern Washington, Nevada, SMU and D1-AA UMass, none of which have beaten a Division 1A opponent. Texas Tech travels to Kansas State on October 4. BYU moved up three spots to No. 12, followed by a tie between South Florida and Wake Forest. Ohio State returns to the poll following a one week hiatus, followed by Auburn at No. 16.
