After upset losses to unranked opponents, Alabama and Mississippi both fell out of the top 10 in the AP Top 25 Poll when the latest rankings were published on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Miami and SMU moved into the top 10, with Oregon remaining No. 1 in the ranking for the sixth week in a row.

In a dramatic week of college football, Arizona State moved up seven spots to No. 14 after an upset win over Brigham Young on Saturday, making the Sun Devils the top-ranked Big 12 team in the poll.

Ohio State, Texas and Penn State, all of whom won Saturday, occupy the next three spots behind the Ducks, who are now the only undefeated team in the AP Top 25 poll.

Indiana’s 38-15 loss to Ohio State — its first loss of the season — means the Hoosiers fall five spots but still hold on to a top-10 position, while Alabama and Mississippi were the two biggest fallers, both down six seats.

The Crimson Tide is now ranked No. 13 after a shock 24-3 loss to Oklahoma. According to ESPNit was Alabama’s fewest points in a game since 2004 and the first time the team has been held to less than 10 points since 2011.

Ole Miss also fell out of the Top 10 with a stunning loss to an unranked opponent, falling 24-17 to Florida to leave the team with little chance of making the playoffs.
