Ohio State, Michigan State, Ole Miss, TCU and Baylor all stayed in the top five of the AP Top 25. Thanks to the Horned Frogs' lucky tip touchdown to beat Texas Tech, TCU avoided a potentially damning loss that may have tumbled them down the rankings.

Oregon fell out of the poll and College Football Playoff picture after getting run out of Autzen Stadium by Utah.

The Utes moved up to No. 10 after the win, and seem as likely to win the Pac-12 South as No. 7 UCLA or No. 17 Southern California. One AP voter even gave Utah a No. 1 vote after the win in Eugene.

For Oregon, this is the first time the Ducks have not been ranked in the AP Top 25 since September 2009.

First-year coaches Jim McElwain (Florida) and Jim Harbaugh (Michigan) are ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in 2015, but only the Gators made both rankings, checking in at No. 25 on the AP's list and No. 23 in the Coaches Poll. Michigan, at 3-1 and No. 22 in the AP Top 25, fell a few votes short of making the Coaches Poll.
