ATHENS — Georgia football held the No. 3 spot in the FWAA-NFF Super 16 poll on the heels of its 45-0 shutout win over Austin Peay.

The top two spots in the poll remained the same, with Alabama at No. 1 and Clemson No. 2.

The Crimson Tide received 45 of the 52 first-place votes, while Clemson received four, Auburn two and Georgia one.

LSU jumped into the Super 16 poll at No. 11 following the Tigers’ convincing 33-17 victory over Miami Sunday night in Arlington, Texas.

Georgia plays at LSU on Oct. 13 this season.

Virginia Tech, a 24-3 winner at Florida State on Monday night, debuted in this season’s poll at No. 15.

West Virginia also moved into the elite ranks, No. 14 after dispatching of Tennessee, 40-14.

Three teams dropped out of the poll, two of them that lost football games — Miami and Michigan. TCU dropped out of the Top 16 despite a 55-7 win over FCS Southern.
