Overview

• AP Top 25: Ohio State stayed No. 1 with Miami at No. 2 and Indiana up four spots to a program-best No. 3 after a 30-20 win at Oregon, which fell to No. 8.
• US LBM Coaches Poll: Ohio State remained No. 1 with 63 of 66 first-place votes, Miami is No. 2, and Indiana rose to No. 3 for its highest coaches ranking.
• Texas re-entered the AP poll at No. 21 after a 23-6 Red River victory that held Oklahoma without an offensive touchdown as John Mateer threw three interceptions; the Sooners slid to No. 14.
• The AP rankings featured major turnover with five teams entering — including USC, Texas and Utah — and five dropping out — Michigan, Illinois, Arizona State, Iowa State and Florida State.
• SEC presence stayed heavy with 10 AP-ranked teams, boosted by Alabama’s 27-24 win at Missouri and Tennessee’s 37-34 win over Arkansas.
