Dale Zanine / USA TODAY Sports
Georgia and TCU both cracked the top 10 of the AP Poll on Sunday, moving to No. 7 and No. 9, respectively, after registering victories over ranked opponents in Week 4.
Their victims from Saturday, Mississippi State and Oklahoma State, suffered significant drops in the poll, with the Bulldogs landing at No. 24 and the Cowboys tumbling to No. 16.
Florida State, which is now 0-2, fell off the list and is unranked for the first time since the 2011 season. The Seminoles were ranked third in the preseason poll.
The top 25 welcomed a pair of newcomers as the schedule flips to Week 5, as Notre Dame secured the No. 22 position while West Virginia clinched the No. 23 spot.
