The week eight college football polls were released Sunday afternoon, and we had some movement.

The top 10 in the Coaches Poll are as follows:

  1. Alabama
  2. Clemson
  3. LSU
  4. Ohio State
  5. Oklahoma
  6. Wisconsin
  7. Penn State
  8. Notre Dame
  9. Florida
  10. Georgia

The top 10 in the AP Poll are as follows:

  1. Alabama
  2. LSU
  3. Clemson
  4. Ohio State
  5. Oklahoma
  6. Wisconsin
  7. Penn State
  8. Notre Dame
  9. Florida
  10. Georgia

Obviously, it’s no surprise at all that Alabama remained number one. They dominated Texas A&M in spectacular fashion. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Nick Saban’s guys just tore the Aggies to shreds in a way that was almost cruel to watch.

Clemson dropping from two to three in the AP Poll is absolutely shocking. They rocked Florida State 45-14. Dabo Swinney’s squad bounced back off the bye week and a weak performance a couple weeks ago by annihilating a fellow ACC team.

They looked like the Tigers squad of 2018, and that should terrify the college football world. Yes, LSU got a big win, but jumping Clemson is absurd and another example of SEC delusion.

Unfortunately for Georgia, they dropped dramatically after losing to a South Carolina team that entered the game with a grand total of two wins.

You just hate to see an overly-hyped SEC team go down. You just hate to see it! That loss allowed Ohio State to take the number four position all for themselves.

As for my Badgers, we’re up to number six after beating Michigan State 38-0, and have a game with Illinois next week. Through six games, they have four shutouts and have given up only 29 points.

The defense is truly terrifying, and the game against OSU in two weeks should be an epic one.

Sound off in the comments with where your team is, and your thoughts on the rankings. It was a great weekend of college football, and we’re lined up for another fun day this upcoming Saturday.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
