Following Week 5 of college football season, the Football Writers Association of America and the National Football Foundation unveiled the updated FWAA-NFF Super 16 poll.
As you would expect, the Alabama Crimson Tide remain in the No. 1 sport and the Ohio State Buckeyes hang on at No. 2.
That’s where it all changes.
After defeating the Louisville Cardinals in a matchup of top five teams, the Clemson Tigers have jumped to the No. 3 ranking in the FWAA-NFF poll, while the Cardinals have fallen to No. 8.
Stanford, meanwhile, falls to No. 14 this week after losing to Washington, which jumps from No. 10 to No. 6. Another fall belongs to the Florida State Seminoles, who fall from the poll for the first time this season after losing to North Carolina.
The SEC led all leagues with five teams in the poll. The Big Ten had four teams, the ACC three and the Pac-12 two. The American and Big 12 had one each.
