TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - The Florida State Seminoles are on the rise again in this week’s AP Top 25, coming in at 3rd after Saturday’s 66-10 victory over Southern Mis.

This is the highest the ‘Noles have been ranked in the AP Top 25 since the 2017 Preseason ranking of #3.

The ‘Noles rise coincides with Alabama’s fall as the Crimson Tide dropped from 3rd to 10th following a 34-24 upset loss at home to Texas. The Longhorns moved from 11th to 4th in this week’s poll.

Georgia remains the AP’s top team receiving 55 first-place votes, with the ‘Noles receiving 3.

The ACC welcomed another squad to the rankings this week as the Miami Hurricanes debut this season at 22nd, after the impressive ‘Canes 48-33 victory over the Texas A&M Aggies at Hard Rock Stadium.

Of note, Clemson dropped out of the AP Top 25 in the latest rankings.

Next up for Mike Norvell and FSU is a trip to Boston College to face the Eagles in the squad’s ACC opener.
