The Week 9 AP poll looks a lot like the Week 8 AP poll, especially at the top.
There was only one swap of positions in the top 10 of the Week 9 poll released on Sunday. Ohio State, Baylor, Clemson, LSU and TCU all stayed at Nos. 1-5. The only change was Notre Dame moving up to No. 8 and swapping spots with Stanford, which fell to No. 9.
Notre Dame beat Temple Saturday night in the only matchup of ranked teams from the weekend. The Owls, 7-1, fell to No. 23 from No. 21.
Memphis moved up a spot to No. 15 after beating Tulane and Michigan, which survived a scare from Minnesota, dropped a position to No. 16.
This week's newcomers to the poll were North Carolina and Texas A&M. They replaced Pitt and Duke, which both lost. Though we all can admit now that Duke shouldn't have lost, right?

1. Ohio State [39 first place votes] (LW: 1)
