SEC powers Alabama and Georgia maintained their previous rankings of No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, after wins over Mercer and UAB. Oklahoma moved up one spot No. 3 after the Sooners shut out Western Carolina 76-0. The biggest movers Oregon made the biggest leap in the AP poll with its eight-spot jump and the team ranked one spot behind the Ducks, No. 5 Iowa, made the second-biggest improvement since last week. The Hawkeyes improved their ranking by five spots after defeating rival and then-No. 9 Iowa State 27-17. Southern California plummeted from No. 14 to fifth among "others receiving votes" after the Trojans were throttled by unranked Stanford 42-28, which made USC the team that experienced the biggest drop. The Trojans were followed by the Texas Longhorns, which arrived in Fayetteville ranked No. 15 but left with a 40-21 defeat and they too are now unranked. Ohio State, which was on the losing end of Oregon's excellence, had the biggest fall of any team that was ranked in each of the last two weeks as the Buckeyes dropped six spots to No. 9. It's Ohio State's lowest ranking since the Buckeyes were No. 10 in the AP poll during the week of Nov. 18, 2018.

Florida has scored 35 and 42 points in its first two wins and it might take that many points, if not more, to keep up with Alabama's high-powered offense. In an exciting non-conference matchup, Auburn visits Penn State for the latter's white-out game. The Nittany Lions have already beaten one ranked opponent this season with a 16-10 road victory over Wisconsin in Week 1. Auburn's schedule during the first two weeks has included games against Akron and Alabama State, but the Tigers scored at least 60 points in both. BYU is now ranked after knocking off Utah at home, 26-17, in Week 2 and the Cougars will host another ranked Pac-12 team in Week 3. Click or tap here to view the complete FBS scoreboard for Week 3.
