Notre Dame moved into the top five, Texas and UCF reached the top 10 and the Southeastern Conference placed a season-high eight teams in the latest Associated Press college football poll.

No. 10 UCF has never been ranked higher during the regular season. The Knights, who have the nation’s longest winning streak at 18 games, finished last season unbeaten and at No. 6.

They lead three American Athletic Conference teams into the top 25, the most for the conference this year. USF entered the poll at No. 23 after the Bulls' 58-42 win over UMass. Cincinnati is the other American team ranked No. 25.

After three teams in the top eight and eight ranked teams overall lost on Saturday, there was significant movement throughout the AP Top 25 , except in the first four spots.

Florida rose eight spots to No. 14 after defeating then-No. 8 LSU. The Tigers are ranked one spot ahead of the Gators at No. 13.

Miami rose one spot to No. 16 after the Hurricanes' come-from-behind win over the rival Florida State Seminoles on Saturday.

Alabama stayed No. 1, with 59 first-place votes and Georgia remained No. 2. No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Clemson each received a first-place vote from the media panel.

Notre Dame reached a season-high fifth after beating Virginia Tech on Saturday night. Texas jumped 10 spots to No. 9 after beating Oklahoma. The Longhorns are in the top 10 for the first time since Sept. 19, 2010, when they reached No. 7.

The SEC’s eight teams are the most by a conference since the SEC had eight on Oct. 16, 2016. The record for most teams in the AP Top 25 for one conference is 10 by the SEC on Sept. 8, 2015.
