No. 2 Texas rose to its highest ranking in school history after defeating Baylor 38-6 on the road. The Longhorns' No. 2 ranking is the highest ranking held by a Big 12 school since Oklahoma claimed the No. 2 spot on December 3, 2017. Michigan fell one spot to No. 3 despite a 24-point victory at home against Rutgers. Ohio State moved up two spots to No. 4 by virtue of defeating Notre Dame, 17-14, in South Bend. Notre Dame fell two spots to No. 11 after the three-point loss to the Buckeyes.

Colorado and Oregon State dropped out of the poll completely after suffering losses on the road in Week 4. North Carolina and Duke joined the poll after dominant victories on the road, claiming the Nos. 15 and 16, respectively. Duke's Super 16 appearance marks the first ever for the Blue Devils.

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.
