Rise in health uninsured may be linked to immigrants’ fears

<p>California and Arizona State moved into the AP Top 25 college football poll to give the Pac-12 six ranked teams, the most for the conference in almost four years.</p><p>A weekend filled with blowouts left the top half of the AP media poll presented by Regions Bank mostly unchanged.</p><p>Clemson remains No. 1, with 57 of the 62 first-place votes, as the top nine held their spots Sunday. Alabama was No. 2, receiving five first-place votes, followed by Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Auburn and Florida.</p><p>The ninth-ranked Gators were the only top-10 team to play a competitive game. The others won by a combined 428-97.</p><p>Utah, the highest ranked Pac-12 team, moved up to No. 10. The last time the Pac-12 had six ranked teams was Nov. 8, 2015.</p><p>Penn State remained at No. 13 after a 17-10 victory over arch-rival Pitt.</p><p><strong>Poll points</strong></p><p>The Pac-12 took a fair amount of grief the first week of the season after it suffered a few upsets to Mountain West teams and Oregon let a potentially big victory slip away against Auburn.</p><p>Now the conference has had a mini-resurgence, despite issues with some of its typically strong teams.</p><p>Stanford started the season ranked, but is 1-2 after getting dominated by UCF on Saturday. Southern California had a brief stay at the bottom of the rankings last week, falling out after losing in overtime at BYU on Saturday.</p><p>Overall, the results were OK this past weekend for the Pac-12. The conference went 8-4 in nonconference play, including Arizona State&#8217;s victory at Michigan State and Arizona beating Texas Tech. Though Colorado&#8217;s loss to Air Force put the Pac-12 at 4-4 against the Mountain West this season.</p><p>Utah is in the top 10 for the first time since November 2015.</p><p><strong>In</strong></p><p>No. 25 TCU also joined the rankings this week for the first time this season. The Horned Frogs beat Purdue 34-13 in West Lafayette, Indiana, on Saturday.</p><p><strong>Out</strong></p><p>&#8226; Michigan State fell from the rankings after its 10-7 loss to Arizona State. The Spartans were swept in a home-and-home by the Sun Devils the last two seasons by a combined 26-20.</p><p>&#8226; Maryland is out after one week. The Terrapins went from scoring 63 in a victory against Syracuse to losing 20-17 to Temple.</p><p>&#8226; The next three games for USC are against Utah at home, at No. 22 Washington and at No. 7 Notre Dame.</p><p><strong>Conference call </strong></p><p>For a second straight week, the Southeastern Conference has three top-five teams and half of the top 10.</p><p>SEC &#8212; 6 (Nos. 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 17).</p><p>Pac-12 &#8212; 6 (Nos. 10, 16, 19, 22, 23, 24)</p><p>Big Ten &#8212; 5 (Nos. 6, 11, 13, 13 (tie), 18).</p><p>Big 12 &#8212; 3 (Nos. 5, 12, 25).</p><p>ACC &#8212; 2 (Nos. 1, 21).</p><p>American &#8212; 1 (No. 15).</p><p>Mountain West &#8212; 1 (No. 20).</p><p>Independent &#8212; 1 (No. 7).</p><p>Ranked vs. ranked</p><p>No. 7 Notre Dame at No. 3 Georgia. Return match from Georgia&#8217;s 20-19 victory in South Bend, Indiana, two years ago.</p><p>No. 11 Michigan at No. 13 Wisconsin. Fox&#8217;s first Big Noon game which is both big and starting at noon.</p><p>No. 8 Auburn at No. 17 Texas A&amp;M. The whittling starts in the SEC West.</p><style>
