Football Poll Watching Week 4: Alabama Drops Out of Top Ten

Tennessee and Kansas State were the only ranked teams to lose in Week 3. As a result, there was not much movement in this week's polls.

Week Three is behind us. Many teams move into conference play in Week Four, which should give us some more exciting games. Tennessee and Kansas State were the only ranked teams to lose in Week Three. K-State dropped out of both polls. Tennessee is still ranked, but they did drop a number of spots. 

In this week's polls, the top nine teams remain virtually the same as last week. The only change was in the AP Top 25, Texas and Florida State flipped spots at No. 3 and No. 4.  Georgia remains the top team, followed by Michigan. Alabama, which struggled against USF, did drop out of the top ten to sit at Nos. 13/12.
