The Legends Poll Top 25: College Football Week 10
It seems every team is gunning for top-ranked Alabama, and Florida State once again proved it belongs among the top contenders after another dominating performance against a top 10 opponent.
No. 3 Florida State dismantled Miami (FL) in Tallahassee Saturday night in front of a record crowd, 41-14, sending the Hurricanes tumbling eight spots to No. 15 in the Legends Poll.
Alabama and No. 2 Oregon were idle over the weekend. But Oregon has its chance to make a statement in front of the nation next Thursday night when it takes on No. 6 Stanford.
Besides Miami, there were no other changes in the top 14 positions in the Legends poll.
No. 4 Ohio State continued its dominant play against inferior opponents behind the sterling play of Braxton Miller in their 56-0 win over Purdue, and No. 17 Michigan State stepped forward as the toughest possible opponent for the Buckeyes. Michigan State took care of in-state rival Michigan on Saturday, knocking the Wolverines out of the Legends Poll.
Georgia and Arizona State moved back into the top 25 at No. 24 and No. 25 respectively.
Oregon State was the other team to drop out of the rankings.
