NOTES:
The top nine teams in the poll all won on Saturday. But there was suspense with some of those teams : top-ranked Georgia didn't dispose of Missouri until the fourth quarter, 30-21;  No. 5 Washington finally won a scoring duel with USC, 52-42; and No. 7 Texas needed overtime to beat Kansas State, 33-30.
 
Despite some drama, the top nine teams didn't budge from a week ago.
 
Besides Missouri, three other teams in last week's poll lost: Oklahoma, Notre Dame and LSU. The Sooners and the Irish both fell to unranked teams, Oklahoma State and Clemson, respectively. LSU was beaten by No. 8 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Oklahoma, Notre Dame and LSU all dropped out of the poll and were replaced by Tennessee, Oklahoma State and Utah.
 
The SEC led all conferences with five teams in the poll, followed by the Pac-12 with four, the Big Ten with three and the ACC and Big 12 with two each.

No. 10 Ole Miss at No. 1 Georgia

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 Sunday of the 2023 season; the individual votes of all members will also be made public. The first regular season poll will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 5 (to account for Labor Day games), and the final poll will be released Sunday, Dec. 3. 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 computer program designed by Sports Systems to compile the rankings and the Cody Kellner Points Index to publish the individual votes.
