Ohio State unmoved, BYU joins Top 10 in latest AP Poll

It was a relatively tame week for college football fans, with no upsets in the top 12 and only six in the Top 25 — three of which came in ranked matchups.

Ohio State has been the clear No. 1 since Week 1 and remains there going into Week 10 after a bye. Indiana halted a surging UCLA team that had been rolling since its coaching change, routing the Bruins 56-6.

No. 3 Texas A&M erupted in the second half, overcoming an 18-14 halftime deficit to LSU and outscoring the Tigers 35-7 after the break. South Carolina had No. 4 Alabama on the ropes, but a late fumble recovery gave the Crimson Tide a chance to score for a 29-22 victory. Alabama scored 15 points in 2:16 to escape Columbia with the win.

Georgia remains at No. 5 after an idle Week 9.

No. 6 Oregon took care of business against Wisconsin, winning 21-7, and stays just outside the top five. Ole Miss picked up a top-15 win over Oklahoma, 34-26 on the road, to move up to No. 7 in this week’s AP Poll. Georgia Tech beat Syracuse 41-16 to start 8-0 for the first time since 1966 and remains in the Top 10 at No. 8.

Vanderbilt earned a big conference win over Missouri to climb to No. 9. The Commodores’ 7-1 start is their best since 1941. Miami thumped Stanford 42-7 and sits at No. 10. Tied with Miami at No. 10 is BYU, which hasn't been ranked in the Top 10 since 1985.
