Associated Press College Football Poll

UNDATED (AP) — There are a host of changes in The Associated Press football poll after several conferences changed course and elected to play a season.

Ohio State, Penn State and Oregon returned to The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday, weeks before they start playing.

Clemson remained No. 1 with 55 first-place votes, followed by Alabama at No. 2 with three first-place votes. Third-ranked Florida is just ahead of Georgia and Notre Dame, while Ohio State, Auburn, Miami, Texas and Penn State round out the top 10. Oregon is 14th.

Defending champion LSU and Oklahoma both took tumbles in the poll. LSU fell from 6th to 17th, and the Sooners dropped from third to 16th.
