FSU Unranked After Previously Hanging on in Coaches Poll

After hanging on to the final spot in the Amway Coaches Poll, Florida State finds itself as an unranked team this week, despite picking up its first win on Saturday.

The Seminoles rallied to beat previously undefeated Wake Forest on Saturday, 26-19. James Blackman threw the game-winning touchdown to Auden Tate with less than a minute to play as FSU improved to 1-2 on the year.

The victory was not enough to keep FSU in the poll, but it was the highest vote-getter among unranked teams. Notre Dame, N.C. State and UCF all surpassed the Seminoles to move into the top 25. Notre Dame was previously ranked in the AP Poll. FSU remained unranked in the AP Poll.

The top 4 in each poll was unchanged, led by Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and Penn State. Washington replaced USC, who fell to Washington State, at No. 5 in the Coaches Poll. Georgia rounded out the top 5 in the AP Poll.

FSU will return home this week to face rival Miami. The Hurricanes rank 13th in the AP Poll and 12th in the Coaches Poll, following a 31-6 thumping of Duke.
