The top nine teams in the nation remained the same after going 9-0 with the twist of Washington and Florida State trading spots.
The Seminoles' starting quarterback Jordan Travis suffered a serious leg injury early in the Seminoles' 58-13 victory over North Alabama. His availability for the rest of the season is in serious doubt. Whether or not that swayed voters, Florida State slipped to the No. 5 position as Washington took over the 4-spot.
Washington's move to No. 4 after its two-point victory on the road at Oregon State gives the Huskies their highest ranking since claiming the No. 4 spot on Dec. 4, 2016. Oregon State fell four spots to No. 14.
