The Alabama Crimson Tide retain their death grip on college football and remain ranked #1 in both polls, accumulating 59 #1 votes in the Coaches. Clemson Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs remain on the heels of the Tide and Oklahoma and Ohio State are currently jockeying for the last playoff spot.
The West Virginia Mountaineers moved up 3 spots thanks to the 40-14 beatdown of the Tennessee Volunteers. Quarterback Will Grier threw for nearly 300 yards in the second half with four touchdowns to break open a 13-7 game to a blowout. The performance earned Grier National Player of the Week awards but because of LSU Tigers and Virginia Tech Hokies primetime beat downs of ranked foes on Sunday night and Monday night, the Tigers are the biggest movers of the week.
Florida State Seminoles and Texas Longhornsfall out of the polls while the Oklahoma State Cowboys, South Carolina Gamecocks and Florida Gators enter the polls for the first time.
