In the Amway Coaches Poll, the Seminoles held strong at No. 8 between Auburn and Georgia. Ohio State topped both polls after beating Virginia Tech on Monday night.
Alabama jumped TCU in both polls to move from third to second. The Horned Frogs are third in both polls ahead of Baylor. Michigan State is fifth in the AP Poll while Oregon is No. 5 in the Coaches Poll.
