Oregon held on to its No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, released Sunday, and this time it was a unanimous choice for the top spot.

This is the third consecutive week at No. 1 for Oregon (9-0), which posted a 38-17 win at Michigan, and the last poll before the College Football Playoff selection committee issues its first rankings this week.

Georgia (7-1), which defeated rival Florida on Saturday, stayed at No. 2, followed by Ohio State (7-1). The Buckeyes rose a spot after handing then-No. 3 Penn State its first loss, 20-13 in Happy Valley.

Miami (9-0) and idle Texas (7-1) also moved up one place and completed the top five, with the Nittany Lions (7-1) slotting in at No. 6, down three spots.

Rounding out the top 10 were Tennessee (7-1), Indiana (9-0), BYU (8-0) and Notre Dame (7-1).

The Hoosiers moved into the top 10, rising five places from No. 13.

The biggest gain in the rankings went to SMU (8-1), which climbed seven places to No. 13 after routing previously undefeated Pitt (7-1).

Taking the biggest plunges of the week were No. 15 Texas A&M (7-2, down five), No. 17 Iowa State (7-1, down six), No. 19 Clemson (6-2, down eight), No. 22 Kansas State (7-2, down five) and No. 23 Pitt (7-1, down five).

Entering the Top 25 were No. 24 Vanderbilt and No. 25 Louisville, both 6-3. Vanderbilt defeated Auburn 17-7 to become bowl-eligible for the first time since 2018 and Louisville toppled Clemson 33-21 on the road.

Dropping out of the poll were Illinois (6-3) and idle Missouri (6-2).
