Tennessee, Wisconsin Fall in Poll

Tennessee and Wisconsin took the biggest tumbles and five new teams moved into the Top 25 rankings.

Florida State retained the No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press’ Top 25 poll, but Penn State and Florida, after dramatic victories on Saturday, each moved up a spot and are 2-3 this week. The Volunteers fell five places to No. 7 after losing to Florida.

Wisconsin was stunned by Cincinnati and took the biggest hit, sinking 11 spots to No. 20.

Notre Dame is out, and Marshall is in--for the first time since the AP poll began in 1936. The Thundering Herd moved in at No. 21, joining newcomers No. 19 Michigan State, No. 22 Texas, No. 23 Mississippi State and No. 24 Air Force.
