NEW YORK (AP) – Alabama stays on top in this week’s Associated Press college football poll.
The Crimson Tide’s opening 35-10 win over Virginia Tech helped earn 58 of a possible 60 first place votes.
But there’s a new No. 2 with Oregon moving up a notch despite not getting either of the two other first place votes. The 66-3 blowout win over Nichols State in coach Mark Helfrich’s debut nudged the Ducks ahead of Ohio State which won its opener over Buffalo 40-20.
Clemson bolted up four spots to No. 4 after taking out previously fifth-ranked Georgia. That’s the Tigers highest ranking in the AP Poll in 25 years.
Stanford is fifth, followed by South Carolina, Texas A&M, Louisville, LSU and Florida State. Georgia dropped to 11.

Officials say after the notoriety of his case, Castro was placed in protective custody, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes. But he was not on suicide watch.
BEIJING (AP) – Authorities in China believe the person who removed a 6-year-old boy’s eyes was his aunt, who later killed herself.
