For the second consecutive week the Washington Huskies were leap-frogged in the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll.

Wisconsin moved up three spots to No. 8 after dominating Michigan State 30-6. Texas A&M moved up a spot to No. 9 after defeating Arkansas.

Washington dropped from ninth to 10th after defeating Arizona 35-28 in overtime. One week ago the Huskies fell from eighth to ninth after routing Portland State 41-3.

There were few other changes in the Top 25 as the only four ranked teams that lost did so to other ranked teams.

The top teams held their spots, led by No. 1 Alabama. The Crimson Tide received 50 first-place votes. No. 2 Ohio State was followed by Louisville, Michigan, Clemson, Houston and Stanford.

LSU (2-2), which started the season No. 5, joined Notre Dame as preseason top-10 teams to fall out of the poll. On Sunday, LSU fired coach Les Miles and Notre Dame fired defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder.
