UNDATED (AP) — Georgia edged past Alabama to No. 4 in The Associated Press college football poll after the Bulldogs had a quality road victory and the Crimson Tide lost star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the season. LSU remained No. 1, receiving 54 first-places votes. No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Clemson also maintained their spots, while Georgia moved up one place after winning 21-14 at Auburn.

Alabama fell a spot to fifth. The Crimson Tide beat Mississippi State 38-7 on Saturday, but Tagovailoa dislocated his right hip while being tackled late in the second quarter and is done for the year.

Minnesota and Baylor both lost for the first time and dropped in the rankings. The 11th-ranked Gophers slipped four spots after losing at Iowa. No. 13 Baylor dropped one after blowing a 28-3 lead at home to Oklahoma. Iowa jumped four to No. 19 and Oklahoma moved up two spots to No. 8.
