Tennessee fell to 11th place after an overtime win at home against Florida. The Vols fell three spots, ahead of Notre Dame, BYU, Texas A&M and Boise State.

The Broncos are the best non-power conference team in the country and are among three groups of five teams in the Top 25. Army (No. 23) and Navy (No. 25) are newcomers this week after their undefeated start the survey. The Black Knights defeated UAB on Saturday and Navy was eliminated after a 5-0 start.
