Week 12 AP Rankings: Top 9 Stay In Place, Stanford Continues To Climb, Houston Tumbles

In the Week 12 AP rankings, the top nine spots remain in stasis, with Florida on top and Texas in tow. Predictably, Houston's upset loss to UCF sends them down the list. Meanwhile, the Stanford Cardinal sit at No. 17 following their win over USC. Arizona, West Virginia, South Florida, and Auburn fell off the list entirely. Here are the rankings in full:
