Following its 27-10 loss to rival Miami in which it was dominated in all aspects of the game, Florida State has found itself with its lowest ranking in this poll that it has had all season.
The Seminoles slipped from No.3 to No.5 this week, getting passed by Miami and Florida Atlantic, who has won six of its last seven games.
The Seminoles (4-5) fired head coach Wille Taggart on Sunday after the loss despite having three games left on the schedule this season.
This week, all eyes will be on the Shula Bowl on Saturday as Florida Atlantic hosts rival Florida International.
