The Red Raiders entered the rankings following their impressive display, debuting at No. 18 in the AP and No. 20 in the coaches poll.

No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon hold the top two spots for a fourth straight week in the AP poll, with Florida moving up one to No. 3. Kansas State and Notre Dame rounded out the top five.
