AP Top 25 poll: Oregon drops four spots to No. 7 after narrow win over Idaho

Nick Bromberg

Florida State wasn't the only top-10 team that lost spots in the post-Week 1 AP Top 25.

Oregon fell from No. 3 to No. 7 after the first official week of the season following a close win over FCS opponent Idaho. The Ducks were 44.5-point favorites over the Vandals but won just 24-14 after Idaho pulled to within three points with just under 10 minutes to go.

Georgia and Ohio State stayed in the top two spots after wins in Week 1. The Bulldogs easily dispatched Clemson 34-3 and Ohio State beat Akron. Clemson entered the game at No. 14 in the AP poll and nearly fell out of the top 25 entirely after the loss. The Tigers are at No. 25.

Texas, Alabama and Notre Dame now round out the top five. The Longhorns moved up a spot from No. 4 after a win over Colorado State, Alabama moved up after beating Western Kentucky with numerous big plays in the passing game and Notre Dame moved up two spots after beating previously No. 20 Texas A&M in College Station.

Ole Miss stayed at No. 6 ahead of the Ducks. After Oregon, the top 10 is filled out by Penn State, Missouri and Michigan. The Tigers moved ahead of the Wolverines after Michigan struggled to put Fresno State away. Mizzou beat FCS opponent Murray State by 51 points on Thursday night.

Florida State fell to 0-2 after losing to Boston College on Monday night. The Seminoles began the season at No. 10 and are now, understandably, out of the top 25 altogether. Outside of Clemson, the only other team with a losing record in the post-Week 1 top 25 is LSU. The Tigers dropped five spots to No. 18 after losing 27-20 to USC. The Trojans moved up 10 spots to No. 13 after the win.

Georgia Tech, the other team that's beaten Florida State, is in the poll at No. 23.
