Indiana hangs on at No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-136 after Week 8 of the college football season while Alabama makes a big move to No. 3 after nailing down a fourth ranked in in a row.
The Crimson Tide’s 37-20 win against Tennessee was their sixth in a row overall. That’s enough to lift Alabama ahead of unbeaten Texas A&M, which sticks at No. 4 after struggling to beat Arkansas.
The spot in the top three was opened by Miami’s loss to Louisville. That sends the Hurricanes down five spots to No. 8. Other teams moving up near the top of the re-rank are No. 5 Georgia, No. 6 Oregon and No. 7 Georgia Tech.
Vanderbilt climbs seven spots to No. 10 after beating LSU. The Commodores are 6-1 for the first time in 75 years. Also making a big move is No. 15 Brigham Young, which is up 16 spots after beating Utah 24-21 in the Holy War.
LSU leads the most notable fallers, going down 10 spots to No. 21 after losing for the second time. Memphis plummets to No. 35 after a horrific loss to Alabama-Birmingham. UNLV falls to No. 40 after getting blown out by Boise State and Florida State tumbles 22 spots to No, 75 after losing at Stanford.
There was nearly a new team at No. 136 but Massachusetts gave up a 21-20 lead to Buffalo in the final seconds to remain winless.
