The Tigers are followed by Notre Dame, LSU, Michigan, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma and then Ohio State. Florida and UCF switched places at Nos. 10-11. Oregon and North Carolina State fell out of the poll after losses. Washington State and Texas A&M each moved into the poll for the first time this year.

The SEC led all conferences with six teams. The Big 12 had three. The Big Ten and Pac-12 had two each. The American, ACC and Independents had one each.

ABOUT THE FWAA-NFF SUPER 16 POLL:
The FWAA-NFF Super 16 Poll was established at the conclusion of the 2013 season by long-time partners, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and the National Football Foundation (NFF). Voters rank the top 16 teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, and the results will be released every Monday of the 2018 season; the individual votes of all members will also be made public. The first regular season poll will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 4 (to account for Labor Day games), and the final poll will be released Sunday, Dec. 2. The pollsters consist of FWAA writers and College Football Hall of Famers who were selected to create a balanced-geographical perspective. The poll utilizes a program designed by Sports Systems to compile the rankings.
