Just about the only ones who don't think Florida State should be No. 1 wear Michigan maize and blue.
"They're a good team, but they're not invicible," said Wolverines linebacker Erick Anderson after the Seminoles beat Michigan 51-31 on Saturday."Florida State is beatable, but you have to play national championship caliber offense and defense to do it, and we didn't do either," Michigan offensive lineman Greg Skrepenak said.
However, Florida State's performance was impressive enough to strengthen its position in The Associated Press college football poll, while the Wolverines fell four spots to seventh.
The Seminoles (4-0) received 56 of 59 first-place votes and 1,472 points - eight more first-place votes than they got last week from the nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters.
Miami (3-0) stayed in second after defeating Tulsa 34-10, getting two first-place votes and 1,398 points. The next game-of-the-century should be on Nov. 16 when the Hurricanes visit Florida State.
Washington (3-0) is third, followed by Tennessee (4-0), Oklahoma (3-0) and Clemson (3-0). All four teams moved up one place as the result of the loss by Michigan (2-1).
Washington got one first-place vote and 1,375 points following a 56-3 rout of Kansas State. Tennessee beat Auburn 30-21, Oklahoma downed Virginia Tech 27-17 and Clemson edged Georgia Tech 9-7.
Notre Dame (3-1) remained No. 8 after topping Purdue 45-20 while Iowa (3-0), which smashed Northern Illinois 58-7, remained No. 9. Syracuse (4-0), tied for 10th with Penn State last week, took the spot alone after beating Tulane 24-0.
The Orangemen, who beat No. 13 Florida 38-21 on Sept. 21, get a chance to really move up in the poll next week when they travel meet Florida State in Tallahassee.
Baylor is 11th, followed by Penn State, Florida, Ohio State, Nebraska, Auburn, Pittsburgh, California, North Carolina State, Alabama, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Texas A&M, UCLA and Colorado.
Nebraska (3-1) rose one place to 15th after beating Arizona State 18-9. For the Cornhuskers, it was their 161st straight appearance in the AP poll, breaking Michigan's mark, set from 1968-80.
N.C. State (4-0), Texas A&M (2-1) and UCLA (2-1) moved into the Top 25, replacing Arizona State, Mississippi State and North Carolina.
