Oregon was upset at Arizona State and fell from No. 6 to No. 13.
Penn State lost at No. 2 Ohio State, but dropped only two spots to No. 11.
Utah won at Arizona, moving up two slots to take over the No. 6 spot from Oregon.
The Big Ten and SEC led all conferences with five teams each. The Big 12 and Pac-12 had two each. The ACC and Independents had one each.

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.
