The Associated Press football rankings for week 8 of the NCAA football season are now posted. The AP top 25 poll dishes out 25 points for a 1st place vote and 1 point for a 25th place vote.
The week 8 Associated Press rankings have three ACC teams, six Big 12 teams, two Big East teams, three Big Ten teams, one Pac-10 team, four SEC teams, and six mid-major teams - BYU, Utah, Boise State, Ball State, TCU, and Tulsa. The first five teams on the outside of the AP top 25 are Northwestern, Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, Michigan State, and North Carolina. Texas received all of the number 1 votes and therefore retains the overall number 1 spot in the Associated Press top 25. Spots 2 through 6 remain the same as last week while Oklahoma State and Texas Tech flip-flopped 7 and 8.
