Iowa moves to No. 3 in AP Poll
The Iowa Hawkeyes are the new No. 3 team in the AP poll.
The undefeated Hawkeyes moved up three spots from No. 6 after two teams ahead of them lost on Saturday. Iowa also jumped Notre Dame, which moved from No. 5 to No. 4. The Irish had five turnovers in a win over Boston College.
Clemson stayed at No. 1 while Alabama remains at No. 2. Both the Tigers and Tide won easily in Week 12.
Ohio State, which lost to Michigan State, fell to No. 8. The Spartans went to No. 6 from No. 9. Oklahoma, which beat TCU at home thanks to a last-minute two-point conversion by the Horned Frogs that fell short, moved up to No. 5.
Oklahoma State, last week's No. 4 team, is now No. 9. The Cowboys lost to Baylor, which is the new No. 7 in the AP poll. Florida is the last team in the top 10. The Gators dropped from No. 8 thanks to an OT win over Florida Atlantic.
