Where the 7-0 Miami Hurricanes rank in the AP poll after win over Louisville Cardinals

The Miami Hurricanes once again won a tightly contested conference game, this time a 52-45 road win over the Louisville Cardinals, to remain undefeated.

And it played a part in Miami staying put in the AP top-25 poll for a third consecutive week.

The Hurricanes once again checked in at No. 6 in the latest edition of the AP poll, released on Sunday.

The Hurricanes are a perfect 7-0 and 3-0 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. They are one of 10 Football Bowl Subdivision teams that are still undefeated, along with Oregon, Penn State, Iowa State, BYU, Indiana, Pittsburgh, Army, Navy and Liberty.

The Hurricanes began the season ranked No. 19 before moving up to No. 12 after Week 1, No. 10 after Week 2, No. 8 after Week 3 and No. 7 after Week 4 before falling to No. 8 after Week 5 and moving up to No. 6 after Week 6 and staying there after their bye week.

Elsewhere in the poll, there is a new No. 1 after Texas lost 30-15 to Georgia. The Oregon Ducks are the latest team to take the top spot this season and the first non-SEC team atop the poll after Georgia, Alabama and Texas were the first three to be ranked No. 1 at various points.

Texas fell to No. 5, while Georgia moved up to No. 2

Alabama, meanwhile, has fallen from No. 7 to No. 15 after a 24-17 loss at Tennessee, which moved up from No. 11 to No. 7.

The full top 10: No. 1 Oregon, No. 2 Georgia, No. 3 Penn State, No. 4 Ohio State, No. 5 Texas, No. 6 Miami, No. 7 Tennessee, No. 8 LSU, No. 9 Clemson and No. 10 Iowa State.

The Hurricanes host Florida State on Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game televised on ESPN.
