The No. 2 Kansas St. Wildcats, No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs fill out the top 5. The second-ranked Wildcats received 14 first place votes, while the other remaining undefeated team, Notre Dame, received one.
After knocking off the nation's previous No. 1 team, Texas A&M moved up four spots to No. 10 in the newest poll.
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights remained No. 20 after improving to 8-1 on the season with a 28-7 victory over Army.The Syracuse Orange did not move into the poll, but made an impact on the rankings with a 45-26 win over the Louisville Cardinals who subsequently fell eight spots down to No. 18.
