College football rankings for week 14 of the 2024 season have been released, and the SMU Mustangs have entered the Top 10 of both the AP and Coaches polls.
SMU moved up four spots to No. 9 in the AP Poll and three spots to No. 9 in the Coaches Poll after defeating Boston College, 38-28, and improving its record to 10-1 on the season. It’s the first Top 10 ranking for SMU since 1985.
Oregon (11-0) continues its reign at the top of the AP Poll with all 61 first-place votes. The Ducks also top the Coaches Poll with every first-place vote there as well (55).
The remainder of the AP Top 5 is Ohio State (2), Texas (3), Penn State (4), and Notre Dame (5). The Coaches Poll Top 5 also matches the AP Poll.
Indiana dropped five spots in the AP Poll to No. 10 following its 38-15 defeat on the road against No. 2 Ohio State. That drop allowed Georgia to move up to No. 6, Tennessee to No. 7, and Miami to No. 8 after each teams victory this weekend.
Other schools that made big moves up this week include Clemson and Arizona State. Clemson defeated The Citadel at home, 51-14, to improve to 9-2 on the season. As a result, the Tigers jumped five spots in the AP Poll to No. 12 and four spots in the Coaches Poll to No. 12.
After defeating BYU at home, 28-23, Arizona State improved its regular-season mark to 9-2. The Sun Devils moved up seven spots to No. 14 in the AP Poll and No. 15 in the Coaches Poll.
Missouri (8-3) returned to the AP Poll at No. 24 after winning at Mississippi State, 39-20. Washington State fell out of the AP Poll, while Colorado and Kansas State dropped from the Coaches Poll following losses Saturday.
