Another week of college football is in the books, and another pair of Top 10 teams fell from the ranks of the undefeated. Utah and Florida State were the latest unbeatens to suffer their first defeat, likely opening up two spots in the Top 10 this week.
Aside from those two upsets, it was a relatively uneventful week in the Top 25, so a major shake-up is unlikely.
In the projection of the Week 9 AP poll below, only California (previously No. 20) falls out of the rankings, with Mississippi State rising to take its spot.
