This week’s Associated Press college football poll is loaded with movement after another weekend of upsets and big matchups. That will likely continue next week with a couple of big games on tap in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), including two top-five teams meeting in Texas.

There are some legitimate feel-good stories in the poll this week as well. The Army and Navy are still undefeated, and both service academies are ranked in the same AP poll for the first time since 1960. Also undefeated, Indiana climbs all the way to No. 16 this week.
