Key Points

No. 1 Miami was the only team to hold its spot in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday as idle Ohio State moved up to No. 2 as the poll went through another major reordering in the wake of BYU's loss at UCF and subsequent six-spot fall to No. 8. A week after five of the top seven teams lost, three more top-10 teams went down Saturday to make it 10 in the past three weeks.

No. 1 Miami was the only team to hold its spot in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday as idle Ohio State moved up to No. 2 as the poll went through another major reordering in the wake of BYU's loss at UCF and subsequent six-spot fall to No. 8. A week after five of the top seven teams lost, three more top-10 teams went down Saturday to make it 10 in the past three weeks. Three teams ranked either No. 1 or 2 have lost to an unranked opponent over that span in what is shaping up to be the most topsy-turvy season since 2007. Miami, Utah and UCLA are the only remaining unbeaten FBS teams, the fewest at this point in a season since there were three left in 1977, according to Sportradar. Georgia moved up a spot to No. 3 after its open date, Indiana jumped two rungs to No. 4 after winning at Michigan in overtime, and Notre Dame slipped a spot to No. 5 after being idle. Utah, UCLA, BYU, Kentucky and Alabama rounded out the top 10. Miami routed Pitt 52-23 at home in its first game as the No. 1 team since 2002. The Hurricanes received 59 of the 70 first-place votes from the media voting panel, 19 more than a week ago. Ohio State got 10 first-place votes, and Utah got one.
