The college football rankings are out and for the first time this season in the AP and Amway Coaches Poll, we have two different No. 1 teams.
The Florida State Seminoles are still on top in the AP Poll while the Alabama Crimson Tide are No. 1 in the Coaches Poll.
The Seminoles are followed by Alabama, the Oregon Ducks, Mississippi State Bulldogs and Baylor Bears in the AP Poll. In the Coaches Poll, the Crimson Tide is followed by Florida State, Oregon, Mississippi State and the TCU Horned Frogs.
Once again, there are no teams from the American Athletic Conference ranked. However, there are now teams among the others receiving votes.
The UCF Knights are among the others receiving votes in the AP Poll while the Cincinnati Bearcats are among the others receiving votes in the Coaches Poll.
