AP Top 25 College Football
NEW YORK (AP) — Oklahoma has dropped out of the AP college football poll for the first time since 2005, and No. 25 Stanford has moved into the rankings for the first time since 2001.
(Tennessee got 12 votes, but didn't make the list of News Sentinel Sport Editor John Adams.)
The first six spots in the rankings are held by major college football's six unbeaten teams, with Florida, Texas and Alabama making up the top three for the second consecutive week.
TCU moved up two spots to No. 4, bumping No. 5 Cincinnati and No. 6 Boise State back a spot.
Oklahoma had managed to stay in the rankings this season while losing three close games without star quarterback Sam Bradford, but Saturday's 10-3 loss at Nebraska dropped the Sooners to 5-4 and out of the media poll.
The rest of the top 10 is Georgia Tech at No. 7, followed by Pittsburgh, Ohio State and LSU.

These soft schedule teams are killing me. TCU has only beat BYU. BYU's only big victory is Oklahoma, which now we know isn't that big of a win after all....Cincinnati has a win over Oregon State and that's it.....I will say I am ok with Boise State being there. They are like fighting a girl. If you win, everybody says you should but if you lose then you look pathetic. They just can't get anybody to sign up to play them.

How can Florida have the 18th strength of schedule? They play 1 team in the top 25. 1 team. Alabama played 4 and Alabama sos is 24th? This sos makes no sense to me. Even Texas played 2 teams in the top 25. Can someone explain that to me?
