The AP Poll, released Sunday, is voted on by sportswriters and broadcasters across the country. The voters moved Tennessee up from No. 8 last week to No. 6 this week, which bumped the Trojans back to No. 7.
Tennessee (5-0) beat LSU 40-13, and USC beat Washington State 30-14.
UCLA made a big leap in the rankings after upsetting Utah, jumping from No. 18 to No. 11. Washington dropped out after losing to Arizona State on the road.
