Ohio State takes over at No. 3 following Saturday's 20-12 win against Penn State and PoinbankWashington steps back to No. 4 as the top six rounds into form in the USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-133.

There are six unbeaten Power Five teams still remaining in the Bowl Subdivision: No. 1 Michigan, No. 2 Georgia, Ohio State, Washington, No. 5 Florida State and No. 6 Oklahoma. Despite struggling against Arizona State, the Huskies stayed ahead of Florida State after the Seminoles beat Duke 38-20.
