Oregon's gone from the unbeaten list, as are Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Nebraska, UCLA and Brigham Young. In the span of three days — from Oregon on Thursday to UCLA late on Saturday — a group of 17 undefeated teams was trimmed to just 10; these are your frontrunners, and Florida State leads the pack.

It's not as if the Seminoles' schedule lacks punch: FSU takes on Notre Dame on Oct. 18 and Miami (Fla.) and Florida down the stretch, along with scattered tests against Louisville, Virginia and Boston College. It's merely that Florida State's slate isn't fraught with potential disaster — like Alabama's schedule, as we saw, or Oregon's docket, as is obvious.

So the Seminoles simply win and advance, sitting in the passing lane in cruise control as other undefeated contenders — a trimmed list, but a healthy list nonetheless — break down on the shoulder. That leaves us where we started: FSU tops the re-ranking, and how things fall from there might just be anyone's guess.

1. Florida State (5-0, 3-0) | 2. Auburn (5-0, 2-0) | 3. Mississippi (5-0, 2-0) | 4. Baylor (5-0, 2-0) | 5. Notre Dame (5-0, 0-0) | 6. Mississippi State (5-0, 2-0) | 7. Alabama (4-1, 1-1) | 8. Michigan State (4-1, 1-0) | 9. Georgia (4-1, 2-1) | 10. Arizona (5-0, 2-0) – UP 16

11. Oregon (4-1, 1-1) | 12. TCU (4-0, 1-0) – UP 25 | 13. Oklahoma (4-1, 1-1) | 14. Texas A&M (5-1, 2-1) | 15. Kansas State (4-1, 2-0) | 16. Ohio State (4-1, 1-0) | 17. Nebraska (5-1, 1-1) | 18. Oklahoma State (4-1, 2-0) | 19. Stanford (3-2, 1-1) | 20. Clemson (3-2, 2-1)

New to the top 25:

No. 10 Arizona (No. 26). Arizona seems to have Oregon's number.

No. 12 TCU (No. 37). Beating Oklahoma vaults TCU into top-15 territory.

No. 18 Oklahoma State (No. 30). The Cowboys' lone loss came against Florida State.

No. 20 Clemson (No. 27). Clemson, meanwhile, has rebounded nicely from its own loss to the Seminoles.

No. 23 Arizona State (No. 28). Todd Graham's team split two crucial games against Pac-12 South Division competition.

No. 25 Georgia Tech (No. 35). The Yellow Jackets are one of the more surprising undefeated teams in the FBS.

Out of the top 25:

No. 27 Brigham Young (No. 19). Any shot of reaching the Playoff is over.

No. 28 USC (No. 21). This program is clearly still finding its way under Steve Sarkisian and the new staff.

No. 29 Duke (No. 24). The Blue Devils could still win nine games during the regular season.

No. 33 LSU (No. 19). This isn't a vintage Les Miles-coached team, it's safe to say.

No. 47 South Carolina (No. 12). After entering the season with such high expectations, it's safe to call the Gamecocks the SEC's biggest disappointment.

No. 49 Wisconsin (No. 25). Put simply, this doesn't look like a good football team.

Three big leaps:

No. 40 Kentucky (No. 76). Mark Stoops has already matched the Wildcats' SEC win total from the previous three seasons combined.

No. 55 Colorado State (No. 74). It might be tough to win the Mountain West, but CSU could sneak up and pass Boise State.

No. 92 Purdue (No. 112). The Boilermakers notched their first conference win under Darrell Hazell.

Three big drops:

No. 94 Illinois (No. 74). As Purdue rises, the Illini fall.

No. 74 North Carolina (No. 57). Like Wisconsin, this just isn't a good football team.

No. 61 Cincinnati (No. 41). Memphis dictated the flow of action and steamrolled past the favored Bearcats.

Five stories in college football Week 6

Looks good to me but I think Louisiana should be lower.

Oh come on. I know Idaho doesn't have a win but TXST won. Such bullcrap.

You damn sure didn't cover, and yes I'm even less wealthy, and bitter because of it!

Under-performers!

Agreed and I don't think there should be that many spaces between NMSU and us given how close the game was. The close score seems to have been a factor in your ranking, Why not ours?

Look at the rankings for the team you have beaten this year. UAPB is one of the worst teams in FCS, Tulsa is 112, and Idaho is 124. You could have easily lost to both Tulsa and Idaho.

It would be easy to rank Texas State lower after the last two weeks. Beat ULL at home and your ranking will go up quick.

One was a home game, the other was a road game across two time zones in a difficult place to play.

GSU really starting to gain some steam in the rankings now. Reaching new heights.

Looks like there's no stopping you guys. You should be out of the 120s within the next two weeks barring anything catastrophic.

I had been updating a thread like this I bobcatfans but think I'm done now. Once I saw UTSA moved up 4 or 5 spots to 85 after they got beat down by New Mexico and we moved down 7 spots after beating Idaho I lost interest in what this moron thinks.

Not just that, but who leapfrogged us? I'd wager (I haven't looked) those teams had wins more impressive than ours.

We seem to like to squeak by people unless they say we should be FCS.

And New Mexico is still 29 spots lower than UTSA! At 1-4 they should be in the bottom 25 for sure.
Got to shake your head at some of these rankings!!!!!!

Texas State guys - the Massey Composite is pretty much going to be the best 1-128 rank because it is a consensus that considers 100 or so rankings. You dropped to 106 from 100 there. If the power rankings on average think you are ~17 points better than Idaho at home, and you show them you might not be, then they are obliged to adjust you down.

UTSA is 99

ULL looks like one of the worst 4 teams in the conference to me as of yet.

never understood why people gripe about rankings as if it is an exact science. Basically anything outside of the top 2 is debatable, and all these different places have their formulas to calculate who should go where. I don't understand why some people get all up in arms and outraged when their team is ranked 90th instead of 86th.
