College football rankings for Week 11 of the 2023 season have been released, and the Oklahoma State Cowboys have leapt into both the AP and Coaches polls.
Oklahoma State vaulted from unranked to 15th in the AP Poll and 17th in the Coaches Poll after its 27-24 upset of the then ninth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday in their Bedlam rivalry contest. The Sooners fell to 17th in the AP Poll and 16th in the Coaches Poll as a result of the loss.
The Arizona Wildcats moved into the AP Poll at No. 23 following their 27-10 victory over then No. 19 UCLA. The Wildcats, also ranked No. 25 in the Coaches Poll, have not been ranked in the AP Poll since Oct. 29, 2017.
The Georgia Bulldogs, No. 2 in the first College Football Playoff Rankings that were revealed on Tuesday, held onto the top spot in the AP Poll and Coaches Poll after their 30-21 victory over the 12th-ranked Missouri Tigers.
The top nine of the AP Poll remains the same as it was last week: (1) Georgia, (2) Michigan, (3) Ohio State, (4) Florida State, (5), Washington, (6) Oregon, (7) Texas, (8) Alabama, and (9) Penn State. Ole Miss rounds out the Top 10.
Tulane, 8-1 and ranked No. 20 in both polls, is currently the highest-ranked non-power conference team. Also in the rankings are James Madison (21st/21st) and Liberty (25th AP).
