ARLINGTON, Va. -- Florida is closing in on its intrastate rival, Miami, atop the ESPN/USA Today coaches' football poll, which was released Sunday.

The Gators (5-0), who rolled over then-No. 20 Louisiana State, 44-15, on Saturday, took nine first-place votes from the Hurricanes (4-0) and now trail the nation's top-ranked team by only four points.

Miami, which received 1,449 points from a nationwide panel of coaches, and Florida both received 25 first-place votes. No. 10 Fresno State (5-0) lost its only first-place vote to third-ranked Oklahoma (5-0), which now has 10.

The defending national champion Sooners had the weekend's biggest victory, topping then-No. 5 Texas, 14-3, dropping the Longhorns (4-1) to 11th.

Rounding out the top 10 is fourth-ranked Nebraska (6-0), Virginia Tech (5-0), Oregon (5-0), UCLA (4-0), Washington (4-0) and South Carolina (5-0).

The newcomer to this week's poll is 25th-ranked Ohio State (3-1), which dropped Northwestern (3-1) eight notches to No. 24 with Saturday's 38-20 triumph.

Louisiana State dropped from the rankings.

Michigan (4-1) is ranked 12th and is followed by Florida State (3-1) and Tennessee (3-1), which fell seven spots after a 26-24 home loss to Georgia. Georgia Tech (4-1) is 15th and Purdue (4-0) is 16th.
