The University of Central Florida dropped two spots to No. 11 in the country in the AP Poll after its Saturday performance against Temple that ended in a 52-40 victory.

The new position matches closer to what the College Football Playoff Committee has the Knights at: Number 12, however, teams that struggled with their opponents such as Ohio State against Nebraska did not see the same effect. LSU suffered a shutout at home yet remained in the top ten.

The Knights are surrounded by two-loss teams that have no chance at reaching the playoffs.
