AP Top 25: Alabama, Mississippi out of the top 10 and Miami is in

Alabama and Mississippi tumbled out of the top 10 of Associated Press Top 25 Poll Sunday and Miami and SMU moved in after a chaotic weekend in the SEC and across college football in general.

Oregon is No. 1 for the sixth straight week, and Ohio State, Texas and Penn State held their spots behind the Ducks, who are the last undefeated team.

The mix starts at no. 5, with Notre Dame rebounding for the first time since Week 2 following beat Army for its ninth straight win.

No. 6 Georgia moved up two spots, No. 7 Tennessee and No. 8 Miami each moved up three spots and No. 9 SMU jumped four spots to its first top-10 finish since 1985. SMU has won a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game and would play Miami if the Hurricanes win at Syracuse this week, or no. 12 Clemson.

Indiana fell from No. 5 to No. 10 after its first loss, a 38-15 loss at Ohio State. The Buckeyes would play Oregon in the Big Ten championship if they beat Michigan this Saturday for the first time in four years.

The Southeastern Conference’s hopes for a four-seed in the College Football Playoff took a hit with two of its teams losing as double-digit favorites. Texas, Georgia and Tennessee are the only SEC teams with fewer than three losses Alabama lost 24-3 at Oklahoma and Mississippi lost 24-17 at Florida.

Alabama and Mississippi each fell six spots in the AP poll, the Crimson Tide to No. 13 and Rebels to no. 15.

Texas A&M was the third SEC team to lose, 43-41 in Auburn after four overtimes. The Aggies tumbled five spots to No. 20, but would play Georgia in the SEC championship if they knock off Texas this week.

Losses by BYU and Colorado created a four-way tie for first in the Big 12.

Arizona State no. 14, chosen to finish last in the conference, handed BYU its second straight loss and is the highest ranked Big 12 team. No. 17 Iowa State earned a five-step promotion with its win in Utah. BYU is no. 19 and Colorado, which lost to Kansasis no. 23.

If the four teams each finish 7-2 in conference play, it’s Iowa State vs. Arizona State in the Big 12 championship game.

No. 11 Boise State is first among the four ranked group of five teams. The Broncos got a one-spot bump though struggling to beat a two-win Wyoming team. Tulane is no. 18, UNLV is no. 21 and Army is no. 25.

Voting points

Oregon, which was inactive, was the consensus No. 1 team for the fourth straight week. The Ducks will go undefeated in the regular season for the first time since 2010 if they beat Washington at home on Saturday.

Boise State’s ranking is its highest since becoming the No. 8 in the final poll of the 2011 season. Arizona State’s ranking is its highest since becoming the No. 12 in the final poll of the 2014 season.

Indiana-Ohio State was the final top-five matchup of the regular season. The five were the most in a regular season since 1996. There were also five in 1936 and 1943.

Washington State’s four-week run atop the rankings ended with its second straight loss, 41-38 loss at Oregon State.
