The first top-10 shakeup in more than a month pushed Coastal Carolina to No. 9 in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday.

Alabama was a unanimous No. 1, followed by Notre Dame, Ohio State, Clemson and Texas A&M as those teams held their spots for a sixth straight week.

Surprising losses by Florida and Miami shuffled the rest of the top 10. No. 6 Cincinnati and No. 7 Indiana each moved up one spot and No. 8 Iowa State jumped two.

Then come the unbeaten Chanticleers (11-0), the first Sun Belt Conference team to crack the AP’s top 10.

Georgia, who upended Missouri 49-14, landed at No. 10 ahead of Florida at 11. The Gators dropped five spots after losing in bizarre and dramatic fashion to LSU in the fog Saturday night.

Miami plummeted 10 spots to No. 19 after getting blown out by North Carolina. The Tar Heels moved up four spots to No. 16.

POLL POINTS

Alabama has now been ranked in 211 consecutive polls, matching Florida State (1989-2001) for the second-longest streak in poll history.

The Crimson Tide will likely move into second all by themselves after the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday in Atlanta. To pass Nebraska’s record of 348 consecutive poll appearances from 1981-2002, Alabama will need about eight more seasons in the Top 25.

IN-N-OUT

This pandemic altered-season has helped create some opportunities for teams that have not been ranked in a while — or ever before, like Coastal Carolina — to get into the Top 25.

No. 25 San Jose State is this week’s upstart. The Spartans improved to 6-0 and earned a spot in the Mountain West title game for the first time with a second-half rally against Nevada on Friday night.

The last time San Jose State was ranked was 2012, when the Spartans moved into the rankings after the regular season was complete and finished No. 21 in the final poll.

Also moving back into the rankings was No. 24 North Carolina State (8-3). The Wolfpack completed their season last week.

Falling out were Colorado, which lost for the first time this season, and Wisconsin, which lost for the third time and finally got the boot.
