Auburn once again moves up in the college football rankings this week, jumping one spot in the Harris Poll, USA Today Coaches' Poll and Associated Press Top 25. In the Harris, Auburn's at No. 9, he coaches have the Tigers at No. 10 and they're up to No. 7 in the media's eyes.
After Florida State's 41-14 win over previously unbeaten Miami, the Seminoles are still No. 3 behind Alabama and Oregon, both of which were off this week. However, the Seminoles have three first-place votes in the coaches' poll, compared to Oregon's five, and they're No. 1 on six ballots in the AP poll, ahead of the Ducks' two first-place votes. In the Harris, it's Oregon 8, FSU 2 in the first-place votes race.
There isn't a ton of movement this week after a relatively mild schedule. Miami is down to No. 13 in the Harris and No. 14 in the coaches' and the AP. The 'Canes were seventh in the Harris and AP polls, and sixth in the coaches' last week. Michigan State is the big mover after a dominating victory over in-state rival Michigan. The Spartans are up five spots to No. 18 in the Harris Poll, five spots to No. 19 in the coaches' poll and six spots to No. 18 in the AP rankings.
