NOTES:
Status quo pretty much ruled the FWAA/NFF Super 16 Poll teams this past Saturday.
Thirteen of the 16 teams were active, and 11 of the 13 teams won. The first 12 teams remained ranked nearly the same as they were a week ago, and Ohio State stayed No. 1, followed by Indiana, Texas A&M and Georgia at 2–4.
One of the losers, USC, was ranked 16th and fell to then-No. 7 Oregon, causing a slight ripple effect in the poll. The Ducks moved up to No. 5 this week as a reward. Idle Ole Miss fell a spot to No. 6, as did idle Texas Tech from sixth to seventh.
No. 13 Georgia Tech got tripped up by Pittsburgh. That cost the Yellow Jackets a spot in the poll and a lot more in the ACC race. Michigan and Texas are back in the poll in the final two spots.
For the record, the SEC led all conferences with seven teams, followed by the Big Ten with four, the Big 12 with three, the ACC with one and the independents with one.
Rivalry Weekend is up next, when more movement will almost surely occur than this past week. Only two Super 16 polls remain.

ABOUT THE FWAA-NFF SUPER 16 POLL:
The FWAA-NFF Super 16 Poll was established at the conclusion of the 2013 season by long-time partners, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and the National Football Foundation (NFF). Voters rank the top 16 teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, and the results will be released every Sunday of the 2025 season; the individual votes of all members will also be made public. The first regular season poll will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 2 (to account for Labor Day games), and the final poll will be released Sunday, Dec. 7. The pollsters consist of FWAA writers and College Football Hall of Famers who were selected to create a balanced-geographical perspective. The poll utilizes a computer program designed by Sports Systems, a TicketManager company, to compile the rankings and the Cody Kellner Points Index to publish the individual votes.
ABOUT THE FWAA: Founded in 1941, the Football Writers Association of America consists of journalists, broadcasters, publicists, photographers and
key executives in all areas of college football. The FWAA works to govern media access and gameday operations while presenting awards and honors,
including an annual All-America team. For more information about the FWAA and its programs and initiatives, contact Executive Director Steve
Richardson at 214-870-6516 or [email protected].
ABOUT THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION & COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME: Founded in 1947 with early leadership from General Douglas
MacArthur, legendary Army coach Earl “Red” Blaik and immortal journalist Grantland Rice, The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame is a
non-profit educational organization that runs programs designed to use the power of amateur football in developing scholarship, citizenship and
