Florida State keeps climbing in latest AP Top 25
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Florida State’s hot streak continued in week two, surpassing East Texas A&M 77-3.
The Seminoles cracked the Top 25 after a Week 1 31-17 win over Alabama, jumping from unranked to No. 14.
One week later, Florida State now sits at No. 10.
The Top 25 saw plenty of movement this week, but the top three did not budge after outscoring opponents by a combined 127-7.
Ohio State remained No. 1 after a 70-0 victory over Grambling State. Penn State overcame a slow start to beat FIU 34-0 and remain at No. 2, while LSU held firm at No. 3 after a 23-7 win over Louisiana Tech.
Oregon moved up two places to No. 4 in the AP Top 25 after routing Oklahoma State 69-3.
Miami sits at No. 5 following a 45-3 win over Bethune-Cookman.
Georgia did not get quite the start Kirby Smart envisioned against FCS Austin Peay. The Bulldogs ultimately came out on top 28-6, but it was not enough to convince voters they should rank in the top five. Georgia fell to No. 6 as a result.
The Florida Gators went from knocking on the door of the top 10 to falling out of the Top 25 entirely after losing to South Florida.
South Florida jumped into the AP Top 25 at No. 18 following the upset win over Florida.
USF, which visits Miami this weekend, is bidding to become the fifth team to open a season with three wins over ranked opponents. Miami did it in 1987, Michigan in 1985, Iowa in 1960 and Oklahoma in 1954.
The Bulls, coming into this season, were 2-29 in their last 31 games against ranked opponents. They’re 2-0 in such games this season.
