The Michigan State Spartans’ explosive offensive performance yesterday in Piscataway helped the team climb into the top-10 of both the Associated Press and USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll for this week’s results. Following a multiple-record breaking performance that saw Michigan State become just the fifth team in FBS history to have a 300-yard passer, 200-yard rusher, and 200-yard receiver in the same game, the Spartans enter this week at No. 9 in the Coaches Poll and No. 10 in the AP Poll.

There were some noticeable changes at the top, as Alabama suffered a rare regular season loss and fell from the top as a result. Full AP and Coaches polls results are below.

USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll

The Big Ten also has five teams inside the top-nine of the Coaches Poll (Big Ten teams in bold). Iowa even received one first place vote in the poll for some odd reason (sorry Hawkeye fans, but beating Penn State’s backup quarterback doesn’t earn you that vote in my book).
