With week eight all over, the AP pollster got to work and the week nine AP Top 25 Poll was released on Sunday. There are not many changes atop the poll. Georgia remains on top followed by Ohio State, Tennessee and Michigan. Clemson and Alabama are on the outside looking in on the College Football Playoff spots as it stands.
AP Top 25 Poll Top Six Remain Unchanged
Number six ranked Alabama brushed aside Mississippi State on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to creep up a spot or two in the rankings. The Crimson Tide were 30-6 victors over the 24th ranked Bulldogs, but other top ranked teams impressed too.
Number one ranked Georgia was idle this week. Meanwhile, number two Ohio State put Iowa to the sword with a 54-10 win behind an impressive CJ Stroud. Tennessee did what was expected against cupcake Tennessee-Martin and Michigan had their feet up as they rested too. They make up the CFP spots at present.
Fifth ranked Clemson looked in trouble for a large part of the game against Syracuse before running out 27-21 winners. So, all of the top six who were in action were victorious but did little to change the mind of the college football pollsters as the top six remain unchanged from week eight.
Other Big Wins
In other big games this weekend, number ten Oregon beat number nine UCLA 45-30. The Ducks were rewarded with a move up to eighth in the week nine poll. Meanwhile, TCU’s win over Kansas State saw them move up a spot to seven.
