The Atlantic Coast Conference matched the Southeastern Conference for the most teams ranked in The Associated Press college football poll with six after a weekend where 10 Top-25 teams lost.

It’s the first time since 2006 that the ACC has six ranked teams.

Alabama remained No. 1 and had 53 first-place votes, and Ohio State held on to No. 2. Clemson, from the ACC, moved up two spots to No. 3 after a dramatic victory against Louisville, which slipped four spots to No. 7.

Michigan remained No. 4 and No. 5 Washington moved up five spots after a dominant victory against Stanford on Friday night. The last time the Huskies were ranked this high was 2000, when they won the Rose Bowl and finished No. 3 in the nation.

No. 10 Miami gives the ACC three in the top 10 to also match the SEC.

Ten ranked teams losing was the most in a regular-season week since Oct. 4, 2014, when 11 ranked teams went down, five to unranked teams.

All the upheaval resulted in only four teams holding the same rankings they had last week: Baylor at No. 13 was the fourth, with Alabama, Ohio State and Michigan.

TROY DAVIS, a former Iowa State running back, was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication roughly 14 hours after being honored Saturday at the Cyclones’ game against Baylor.

Davis will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame later this year.

ARKANSAS: Hayden Johnson, the starting fullback, was arrested for public intoxication. The Razorbacks play Alabama next week.
