The Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and the National Football Foundation (NFF) released the new Super 16 poll on Sunday.

The poll has a new No. 1. Georgia has taken over the top spot after previous-No. 1 Alabama’s 20-19 win over Texas in Week 2. The Buckeyes continue to get first-place votes.
