Alabama remains No. 1 for a fifth straight week in the new FWAA-NFF Super 16 Poll released today. The poll is voted on by a panel of 46 football writers and college football Hall Of Fame members.
The Top 4 is unchanged from a week ago, but the separation between 1st and 3rd is about as tight as it can get. Alabama only tallied 5 more points than LSU, and the Tigers were just 3 points ahead of Ohio State.
Oklahoma's upset loss at Kansas State dropped the Sooners four spots from No. 5 to No. 9.
Ohio State's win against Wisconsin kicked the Badgers out of the poll, and Texas fell from the rankings after losing to TCU. They were replaced by Michigan and unbeaten SMU who joined the poll for the first time in program history.
Alabama lost 5 first-place votes while LSU gained 2, Ohio State picked up 4, and no gain or loss.
The SEC led all leagues with five teams, the Big Ten had four, Big 12 two, and the Pac-12 two. The ACC, American, and Independents each had one.

The poll was established at the conclusion of the 2013 season by long-time partners, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and the National Football Foundation (NFF). Voters rank the top 16 teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, and the results will be released every Sunday of the 2019 season; the individual votes of all members will also be made public. The pollsters consist of FWAA writers and College Football Hall of Famers who were selected to create a balanced-geographical perspective.
