The Texas Longhorns also dropped their second game of the season, this one in the Swamp at the hands of the Florida Gators. The 29-21 loss sent the Longhorns from No. 9 to the land of the unranked.
The Ohio State Buckeyes remain the top-ranked team in both polls. Miami and Oregon swapped spots in the AP Poll, with the Hurricanes moving up to No. 2 while the Ducks dropped a spot to No. 3. Ole Miss and Texas A&M round out the Top 5 of the AP Poll.
