Despite being unbeaten and part of a major conference, the Minnesota Gophers have reached the Associated Press top 25 football poll for the first time this season.

Minnesota, which ran its record to 6-0 with a win over Nebraska Saturday, is ranked at #20 in this week’s poll.

Iowa, which lost to Penn State, remains in the poll while slipping six spots to #23.

LSU moved up to No. 2 in the poll, giving the Southeastern Conference the top two teams in the country for the 29th time.

The Tigers jumped from No. 5, past No. 3 Clemson and No. 4 Ohio State, after beating Florida in a matchup of unbeaten teams.

Georgia dropped from No. 3 to No. 10 after losing at home to South Carolina in double overtime. The Bulldogs were among a season-high eight ranked teams to lose this weekend, including four to unranked teams.
