Without much to cause a disturbance in the force among the top teams in college football this weekend, the weekly Super 16 poll from the Football Writers Association of America and the National Football Foundation yielded little changes to speak of this week, at least within the top 11 spots.
Alabama remained a unanimous No. 1 in the Super 16 poll for a second straight week. The No. 2 through No. 7 spots remained unchanged behind the Tide; Clemson, Notre Dame, Michigan, Georgia, Oklahoma, and West Virginia in that order. No. 8 Washington State flipped spots with No. 9 Ohio State this week, while No. 10 LSU and No. 11 UCF remained in their spots from last week.
Syracuse and Texas each moved up within the Super 16 this week, and No. 14 Utah State, No. 15 Florida, and No. 16 Penn State round out the poll by cracking the top 16 after not being in it the previous week. Kentucky, Mississippi State and Boston College all fell out of the top 16 spots in the voting.
Here is this week’s Super 16 poll:
- Alabama
- Clemson
- Notre Dame
- Michigan
- Georgia
- Oklahoma
- West Virginia
- Washington State
- Ohio State
- LSU
- UCF
- Syracuse
- Texas
- Utah State
- Florida
