Washington Moves Into No. 2 Spot

There’s a new No. 2 this week, and it’s the Washington Huskies.

After a 36-3 victory over San Diego State on Saturday, Washington moved past idle Florida in The Associated Press’ Top 25 poll.

Penn State (2-0), with a 52-10 rout of Temple, was No. 1 again, receiving 25 first-place votes and 1,641 points from the 70 sports writers and broadcasters who vote in the poll.

The Huskies (2-0) collected 19 first-place votes and 1,615 points, only 26 points behind the Nittany Lions.

Florida (2-0), the defending national champions, dropped to No. 3. Tennessee, which plays at Florida on Saturday after an off week, remained No. 4 with six first-place votes and 1,543 points. Florida State (2-0) was No. 5.

UCLA entered the poll at No. 24 and USC dropped out of the top 25, as did Texas and Notre Dame.

In the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll, the top five were Florida, Penn State, Washington, Tennessee and Florida State.
