After a week in which 19 of 20 ranked teams won their games, the AP Top 25 poll remained largely unchanged. Alabama remains on top, though the Tide lost three of the 59 first-place votes they held entering Saturday. Oregon stayed in the second slot, followed by Clemson, Ohio State, and Stanford. LSU, Louisville, Florida State, Georgia, and Texas A&M round out the top 10.
