The rankings for college football for week 14 are out and the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide are firmly entrenched as the top two teams in both polls as they were earlier in the season.
They are followed by Oklahoma State, Stanford and Virginia Tech in the AP Poll. In the Coaches’ Poll, they are followed by the same three teams but in a different order (Virginia Tech, Stanford, Oklahoma State).
The only team from the Big East ranked in both polls is the West Virginia Mountaineers (22/20). The Cincinnati Bearcats are ranked No. 25 in the Coaches’ Poll and are the third team receiving votes in the AP Poll. The Louisville Cardinals are among the others receiving votes in the AP Poll.
