Oregon moved back into the top five of the Associated Press Top 25 poll, while the first four spots remained unchanged Sunday.

Oregon (10-1) moved up one spot to No. 5 following a dominating 42-27 home victory over Southern California on Saturday. The Ducks leapfrogged Ole Miss (10-1), which fell one spot while on its bye week. Oregon was ranked as high as No. 3 in early October.

Ohio State (11-0), Indiana (11-0), Texas A&M (11-0) and Georgia (10-1) remained the first four teams in that order.

With Oregon jumping two spots, Texas Tech (10-1) also dropped a spot to No. 7 while on a bye week. Oklahoma (9-2), Notre Dame (9-2) and Alabama (9-2) round out the top 10 in that order. Notre Dame crushed Syracuse 70-7 on Saturday, while Alabama was a 56-0 winner over Eastern Illinois.

Michigan (9-2) made the most forward progress this week, jumping three spots to No. 15 following a 45-20 victory over Maryland. Georgia Tech (9-2) tumbled eight spots to No. 23 following a 42-28 home loss to Pittsburgh.

Missouri and Houston dropped out of the Top 25, while Pittsburgh entered at No. 24 and SMU entered at No. 25.
