The AP voters finally watched a West Virginia game and saw a team with a deadly offense and a opportunistic defense. Of course beating a now 1-3 independent team doesn't really move the needle but the win did move West Virginia to one of 19 Power 5 unbeaten teams. Of those 19, 14 are ranked.
Alabama retains its grip on the number one slot, but voters are slowly believing the Tide may be beatable. Ohio State has moved to the number two position. The Big Ten and ACC are primed to send a team to the College Football Playoffs with two teams ranked in the top 5.
