The No. 2 through No. 4 spots remain unchanged after Week 12.

Tennessee fell six slots to No. 11 after suffering a 17-31 loss at Georgia. The Bulldogs advanced three spots to No. 8 by virtue of the win against the Volunteers.

BYU dropped seven spots to No. 14 after a four-point loss against Kansas at home.

Clemson fell out of the poll despite a 24-20 victory at Pittsburgh in Week 12 and Colorado joined the poll for the first time this season after defeating Utah 49-24 at home. The No. 16 ranking for Colorado marks the first appearance in the poll for the Buffaloes since claiming the No. 15 spot on Sept. 17, 2023.

The SEC leads all conferences with six teams. The Big Ten has four, followed by the ACC and Big 12 with two each. The Mountain West Conference and FBS Independents have 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.

The FWAA works to govern media access and gameday operations while presenting awards and honors, including an annual All-America team.
