2014 college football rankings, Week 9: Ole Miss No. 1 in composite Top 25

Saturday may not have seen quite the mayhem of the previous two weeks, but there was still a shakeup near the top of the polls. Florida State beat previously undefeated Notre Dame, keeping the Seminoles firmly in the second spot and sending the Irish further down the top ten. Baylor was walloped by West Virginia and slide pretty far down the rankings, leaving an if-the-season-ended-early Playoff spot open for the taking.

And if you think the human polls like the SEC and Big 12, just wait til you see the computer ratings. Here's the full picture heading into Week 9:

The four rankings we use:

The Associated Press Top 25: The longest-running and best-respected human poll. Didn't have any official bearing on the latter years of the BCS, and won't have any official bearing on the Playoff. Expect it to set the course for the committee, however, as most outlets (including SB Nation) will use the AP's rankings as the standard until the committee takes over in late October. Usually comes out Sundays around 2 p.m. ET.

The USA Today Coaches Poll: Formerly part of the BCS, and now just a poll. It tends to be more conservative than the AP's. Though polling athletic departments in order to rank other athletic departments is dubious, we still want multiple human polls in here, and it's the other big one. Releases early Sunday afternoons.

The Massey Rating: An early-Sunday computer ranking. This is not the Massey formula the BCS used, which excluded margin of victory.

Football Outsiders' F/+ rating: A synthesis of ratings by smart persons Bill Connelly and Brian Fremeau and our personal go-to overall team stat. It tends to come out later than the others.
