There are three new teams in the top five of the Week 7 Coaches Poll, as big wins for South Carolina, West Virginia and Kansas State have pushed all of them up the rankings this week.

Alabama remained the top school in the nation, receiving all but one first-place vote. The Oregon Ducks held strong at No. 2, while the Florida and Notre Dame each made significant jumps to Nos. 6 and 7 in the rankings this week.

The LSU Tigers fell from No. 3 to No. 8, Florida State went from No. 4 to No. 11, Georgia fell from No. 5 to No. 12, and the Texas Longhorns fell from No. 9 to No .15 this week.
