Thanks to some upsets -- and a couple of high-profile near-misses-- shakeup was the name of the game as the Associated Press released its first poll of the 2014 season Tuesday afternoon.
In that Top 25 poll, Florida State, coming off a closer-than-expected win over unranked Oklahoma State, remained No. 1, although the defending FBS champs did see an erosion in their support. After receiving 57 first-place votes in the AP‘s preseason poll, the Seminoles claimed just 46 in Week 1.
A whopping six teams were on the receiving end of first-place votes from the media: No. 2 Alabama (one), No. 3 Oregon (five), No. 4 Oklahoma (two), No. 6 Georgia (two), No. 9 Texas A&M (two) and No. 12 LSU (one).
While the top four teams remained the same from a week ago, every position but No. 10 (Baylor), No. 20 (Kansas State) and No. 24 changed.
Below are the four biggest movers, of the week, both up and down:
UP
No. 9 Texas A&M (No. 21 last week)
No. 6 Georgia (No. 12)
No. 15 Ole Miss (No. 18)
No. 19 Nebraska (No. 22)
No. 25 Louisville (No. 31 last week)
DOWN
No. 21 South Carolina (No. 9)
No. 23 Clemson (No. 16)
No. 11 UCLA (No. 7)
No. 18 Wisconsin (No. 14)
No. 8 Ohio State (No. 5)
The only team to fall out the Top 25 this week was Washington, which was ranked 25th entering Week 1.
