College Football Rankings 2014: Twitter Reacts to AP and Amway Week 6 Polls

Oh, how the mighty have fallen in college football. 

After spending the first five weeks of the season at No. 1 in the Amway Poll, Florida State dropped to No. 2 behind Alabama. The Crimson Tide had the week off, but took over the top spot in the Coaches Poll thanks to a dominant start.

Jameis Winston and the Seminoles were No. 1 in the Week 6 Associated Press poll following a come-from-behind victory against NC State. FSU remains inside the top four in both polls, but the foundation has clearly cracked for the undefeated team.

Here's a look at both polls and where the top teams ranked.

Reaction

The Amway Poll has been under fire this season for some questionable results at times, but the drop of Florida State made serious waves.

Despite receiving 26 first-place votes—11 more than Alabama—FSU was unable to retain the top spot. Stewart Mandel of Fox Sports passed along his thoughts on the change:

The Seminoles were gutted by NC State on Saturday, allowing 24 points in the first quarter and ultimately 41 throughout the game. Winston was overshadowed at times by Jacoby Brissett, but was able to do enough late to win by a final of 56-41.

David Hale of ESPN provided some surprising statistics for Brissett against the once imposing FSU blitz:

Not much can be said for Alabama moving up, because it was simply about Florida State not meeting expectations. The Tide will get a chance to prove why they should remain the No. 1 team in the Coaches Poll on the road against Ole Miss this weekend.

Jon Solomon of CBS Sports noted the reason for the change even with the Tide on a bye:

In fact, the performance against the Wolfpack was enough to drop the Seminoles outside of the Top Four for at least one AP voter. Brett McMurphy of ESPN passed along his ballot prior to the release:

Confidence in Texas A&M stems from yet another crucial victory as the Aggies dropped Arkansas. Texas A&M faces tough tests ahead against Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Alabama, but has looked like one of the best teams in the country thus far.

College GameDay notes just how impressive Kenny Hill has been in clutch situations:

Several SEC team might be on the rise, but another took a dramatic drop in both polls.

An erratic start has South Carolina outside of the Amway Poll following its 21-20 loss to Missouri. The Gamecocks had moved up as high as No. 13 in the AP Poll thanks to three consecutive wins, but fell to 3-2 on the season after the loss.

David Morrison of the Columbia Daily Tribune notes Mizzou is actually ahead of South Carolina in the Amway Poll:

Arizona State also saw its stock plummet after a blowout loss to UCLA while 3-0 TCU entered the Amway Poll for the first time. Needless to say, the college football landscape continues to see shakeups with some of the best matchups of the year coming up.

The Sun Devils have fallen on hard times, but other Pac-12 programs continue to impress.

UCLA continues to build its case as one of the best in the conference, jumping into the top 10 in both polls. Matters for the team are looking even better with Brett Hundley getting healthier, as Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports points out:

An easy road lies ahead for the 'Noles against Wake Forest and Syracuse while other top teams have a tough slate. Nothing is certain in college football, even when it comes to a team with 20 straight wins.

A troubling performance for the Seminoles raised some questions about their chances at another title, but it's still early in the season. FSU remains one of the top-four programs in both polls and still looks like a College Football Playoff team.
