Reflecting a week of college football that wasn't too chaotic at the top, the top six teams in Sunday's Associated Press Top 25 poll remained unchanged.

Ohio State stayed at No. 1 followed by Indiana, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia and Oregon.

Ole Miss moved up one spot past Georgia Tech to No. 7 after its 34-26 win at Oklahoma, which fell five spots to No. 18.

Vanderbilt also moved up a spot to No. 9 after improving to 7-1 with Saturday's 17-10 win over Missouri, which fell four spots to No. 19.

BYU, which rallied to beat Iowa State 41-27 to improve to 8-0, moved up one spot into a tie with Miami for 10th.

Cincinnati and Michigan were the biggest risers of the week, each moving up four spots. The Bearcats leapt to No. 17 with a 41-20 win over Baylor while the Wolverines jumped to No. 21 with a 31-20 win at Michigan State.

Four of the bottom eight teams in last week's poll -- South Florida, LSU, Illinois and Arizona State -- fell out of the poll after losing Saturday. They were replaced by No. 22 Houston, No. 23 Southern California, No. 24 Utah and No. 25 Memphis.
