- By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press College Football Writer

Wisconsin moved up to No. 8 in The Associated Press college football poll and LSU became the second preseason top-10 team to drop out of the rankings in the first month of the season.

There were few changes in the Top 25 as the only four ranked teams that lost did so to other ranked teams.

The top teams held their spots, led by No. 1 Alabama.

The Crimson Tide received 50 first-place votes.

No. 2 Ohio State was followed by Louisville, Michigan, Clemson,

Houston and Stanford. Wisconsin moved up three spot after dominating Michigan State 30-6.

Texas A&M moved up a spot to No. 9. LSU (2-2), which started the season No. 5, joined Notre Dame as preseason top-10 teams to fall out of the poll.
