Week 12 Associated Press Poll: Northwestern sneaks into latest rankings

This may be the least exciting week in terms of rankings. Well, at least at the top.

For the first time in a while, there weren’t many notable upsets on the field this weekend. All teams in the Top 10 won, meaning there’s not much movement in those positions.

The highest ranked team to lose this weekend was No. 11 Kentucky, which fell to Tennessee. In the B1G, No. 21 Iowa dropped a 14-10 decision to Northwestern and No. 18 Michigan State lost 26-6 to No. 10 Ohio State.

But that was about the extent of the excitement in the B1G and across the country.

Here’s how the Associated Press Poll looks entering Week 12:

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Notre Dame
4. Michigan
5. Georgia
6. Oklahoma
7. West Virginia
8. Washington State
