NOTES:
Oregon continued its stay as No. 1 for a fourth straight week with a relatively easy 39-18 home victory over Maryland, but previously No. 2 Georgia and No. 4 Miami, Fl. both suffered road defeats on Saturday and took tumbles in the poll.

Georgia lost for the second time this season, 28-10, at Ole Miss, and the Hurricanes dropped a 28-23 decision at Georgia Tech for their first loss of the season. As a result, Georgia fell nine spots to No. 11  and the Hurricanes dropped eight spots to No. 12. 

No other teams in the poll lost on Saturday, except LSU, which fell to Alabama, 42-13, and dropped out of the poll. LSU was replaced by Clemson. 

The reset at the top of the poll this week found Ohio State at No. 2, Texas at No. 3 and unbeaten Indiana, after topping Michigan, 20-15, at No. 4, its highest ranking ever. In this order: Tennessee, Penn State, BYU, Alabama, Notre Dame and Ole Miss on Saturday--round out the Top 10. BYU, at No. 7, has its highest ranking in the history of the poll.

The SEC and Big Ten dominate the poll.  The Big Ten has four of the top six teams in the poll: Oregon, Ohio State, Indiana and Penn State. The SEC has the most teams with six. The ACC has three teams, and the Independents, Big 12 and Mountain West 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 Sunday of the 2024 season; the individual votes of all members will also be made public. The first regular season poll will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 3 (to account for Labor Day games), and the final poll will be released Sunday, Dec. 8. 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.
