Super 16 Poll: Week 12
Top Five Remain Unchanged
Alabama continued its reign as No. 1 with all 51 first-place votes. The Crimson Tide was followed by Clemson, Notre Dame, Michigan, Georgia and Oklahoma at Nos. 2-6. West Virginia, after losing to unranked Oklahoma State, fell from seventh to 11th. Washington State, LSU, UCF and Ohio State rounded out the first 10.
After Syracuse lost decisively to Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium, the Orange dropped out of the poll. Washington re-entered the poll at No. 16 as the only new team, leaving 15 of 16 teams from last week in the poll. UCF, which posted an impressive victory over Cincinnati, moved up to No. 9, passing Ohio State.
The SEC led all leagues with four teams. The Big Ten and Big 12 had three each. The Pac-12 had two. The ACC, the American Athletic, Independents and Mountain West had one each.
