College football rankings: AP, Coaches Top 5 remains unchanged

By Kevin Kelley -

College football rankings for Week 10 of the 2023 season have been released, and the Top 5 of the AP and Coaches polls remains unchanged from the previous week.

The Georgia Bulldogs held onto the top spot in the AP Poll and Coaches Poll after their 43-20 victory over the Florida Gators on Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla. Michigan was off but remained second, while Ohio State held onto the No. 3 spot after defeating Wisconsin 24-10.

Florida State again holds the No. 4 spot after its 41-16 win at Wake Forest, while Washington rounds out the top five after beating Stanford, 42-33.

Teams moving up in the AP Top 10 this week include Oregon (up two spots to No. 6), Alabama (up one spot to No. 8), and Penn State (up one spot from No. 9). Oklahoma dropped four spots from No. 6 to No. 10 following their 38-33 road loss at Kansas.

Air Force, 8-0 and ranked No. 17 in both polls, is currently the highest-ranked non-power conference team. Also in the rankings are Tulane (21st) and James Madison (23rd/24th).

@KevinKelleyFB,
Dan-ke schön for posting all the Division 1 Top 25 Rankings, & others receiving Votes as they R published.

Seeing their regular Season ups & downs really matter, & how much more interesting the 63 Schlarship Defeats & Victories are; leading to the 10 Conference Champions & the 14 @- large Berths 4 the Postseason in 21 Days is refreshing.

My casual Fandom is a relaxing Pleasure, unlike the Social Chore rooting for my non establishment new club Member 1A Franchise is.
