Believe it or not, we're officially a third of the way through the college football season - that's right, four weeks in, with most teams having completed one-third of their regular season games.

We're starting to really find out who's good, who isn't - and who might be looking for a new head coach in a few weeks.

And with it, we got a new AP Poll on Sunday - here is how the voters see the college football landscape right now:


1. Alabama

2. Georgia

3. Oregon

4. Penn State

5. Iowa

6. Oklahoma

7. Cincinnati

8. Arkansas

9. Notre Dame

10. Florida

11. Ohio State

12. Ole Miss

13. BYU

14. Michigan

15. Texas A&M

16. Coastal Carolina

17. Michigan State

18. Fresno State

19. Oklahoma State

20. UCLA

21. Baylor

22. Auburn

23. NC State

24. Wake Forest

25. Clemson


There are a couple of interesting things here.


First off, shout out to the Arkansas Razorbacks, who jumped from No. 16 to No. 8 - the biggest jump of any team this week. Michigan, which went from No. 19 to No. 14 - more based on teams losing ahead of them, than actually playing well Saturday -, with Fresno State moving up four spots and Michigan State three spots.


Also, there are four new teams in the new poll - with Oklahoma State joining for the first time following their win over Kansas State, and Baylor entering after beating Iowa State. NC State is of course in following a victory over Clemson, with Wake Forest joining for the first time this year as well.


Finally, there are the tumblers, and there were a few this week.

Clemson went from No. 10 to No. 25 - the fact that they're ranked at all shows that frankly, people just haven't been paying attention to the Tigers this season. Also, Texas A&M fell from the Top 10 to No. 15, and if we're being honest, probably shouldn't even be that high.


Iowa State fell out of the Top 25 after a second loss in three weeks, with Kansas State, Wisconsin and North Carolina falling out as well.
