After Week 6 drama, Florida State regains top spot in AP and Coaches polls

Florida State and Auburn are the top two teams in the country again.

The two teams that met in the 2013 BCS Championship Game are the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in both the AP and Coaches Polls after a wacky Week 6 that saw five of the top eight teams in the AP poll lose.

Ole Miss and Mississippi State, two of the teams who were responsible for the top-eight defeats, both vaulted up the standings. They're tied for third in the AP poll while Ole Miss is fourth and Mississippi State is sixth in the Coaches poll.

The Coaches poll has Baylor third. The top six teams in each poll are undefeated while Alabama is the top one-loss team at No. 7. The Crimson Tide are followed by Michigan State in each poll.

Arizona vaulted up to No. 10 in the AP poll following its upset win over Oregon. The Wildcats are No. 13 in the Coaches Poll. TCU, which beat Oklahoma, is No. 9 in the AP poll and No. 12 in the Coaches poll.

Four teams dropped out of both polls: LSU, Wisconsin, BYU and USC.

Here are the complete polls with first place votes and last week's rankings in parentheses.
