The Virginia Cavaliers were not in action on the gridiron this weekend, but the Hoos moved up three spots in the AP Poll to No. 20. Virginia also climbed to No. 19 in the Coaches poll this week. This is the fifth straight week that the Cavaliers have been in the Top-25.

Alabama stayed No. 1 for the second straight week as the top six didn’t change with Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, LSU, and Oklahoma, in order. Florida moved up three spots to No. 7 after upsetting then-No. 6 Auburn, and the Tigers fell to No. 12 with the loss.

Washington, UCF, Arizona State, and Oklahoma State all fell out of the rankings this week, making room for No. 22 Baylor, No. 23 Memphis, and a tie at No. 25 between Cincinnati and Minnesota.

Clemson, Virginia, and Wake Forest (No. 19) are still the only ACC teams ranked, but Pitt received votes after their tumultuous win over Duke.
