The final Associated Press Top 25 poll released Sunday before the College Football Playoff field is set saw Indiana become the undisputed No. 1 team in the country for the first time in school history, but what happened in the bottom half of the Top 10 could prove even more interesting.
Miami leapfrogged Alabama to move up to No. 10 in the media poll, with Miami moving down to No. 11. That is especially notable in that the Hurricanes are vying with the Crimson Tide for 1 of the final at-large berths in the College Football Playoff field set to be released Sunday (noon ET, ESPN).
Miami finished the regular season 10-2, but did not qualify for the ACC Championship Game. Alabama also finished 10-2 and was the top seed in the SEC Championship Game, but the Tide lost 28-7 to Georgia in that matchup Saturday.
The Bulldogs moved up to No. 2 in the AP poll, with Ohio State falling to No. 3 after the Hoosiers defeated them 13-10 in the Big Ten title game. Texas Tech, which won the Big 12 crown, is No. 4 in the AP poll, followed by Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Notre Dame.
