The Volunteers also received 15 first-place votes.

"I voted Tennessee No. 1, because the Vols’ strength of schedule is far superior to UGA and Ohio State," AP voter Ron Counts of the Idaho Statesman said.

Alabama dropped to No. 6.

Georgia remained the top team in the nation after a 55-0 shellacking of Vanderbilt. Ohio State had the weekend off. Georgia received 31 first-place votes, and Ohio State got 17.
