BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The Seminoles have become just the third team since 1989 to go from preseason top 10 to unranked in the first regular-season poll.

Florida State’s losses to Georgia Tech in Dublin and Boston College at home have proved disastrous as Mike Norvell’s team still has the likes of Clemson, Miami, and Notre Dame on their schedule.

The top of the rankings remained the same with Georgia taking the top spot over Ohio State.

Oregon’s 10-point win over Idaho was not enough to impress voters as the Ducks dropped out of the top five to No. 7, allowing Texas and Alabama to each move up one.

Notre Dame moved up two spots to No. 5 with their 10-point win over then-ranked Texas A&M. With that loss, the Aggies have fallen completely out of the poll.

Despite putting up 73 points in their season opener against in-state Alabama A&M, Auburn only received eight votes and remain unranked.

Louisville, who will host Jacksonville State Saturday, remains at No. 22 this week, setting the stage for a monumental upset if the Gamecocks can leave with a win against the ACC team.

In all, the Southeastern Conference has eight teams ranked in the top 25.
