Ohio State stayed No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 for a 10th straight week on Sunday, holding a majority of first-place votes ahead of No. 2 Indiana and No. 3 Texas A&M. It's the final poll before the season's first College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday.

The shuffling started just outside the top tier. BYU climbed to No. 8 (bye), Texas Tech rose to No. 9 after winning at Kansas State, and Notre Dame re-entered the top 10 at No. 10 following a sixth straight victory. Oklahoma and Texas were the week's biggest movers, up seven spots to Nos. 11 and 13, respectively.
Three former top-10 teams slid after losses: Georgia Tech to No. 16, Vanderbilt to No. 15 and Miami to No. 18. Washington returned at No. 24and Houston fell out after a home loss to West Virginia. The SEC leads with nine ranked teams, the Big Ten has six, the Big 12 has four and the ACC has four.
Miami fell eight spots to No. 18 after the overtime loss at SMU, its second defeat (the other loss coming to Louisville) in three weeks. The Hurricanes have now dropped 16 places since peaking at No. 2 last month.
Miami will need to win out and rebuild their resume moving forward. Miami is 6-2 (2-2 ACC) with Syracuse at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 8 (3:30 p.m. ET), followed by NC State (Nov. 15), at Virginia Tech (Nov. 22) and at Pitt (Nov. 29). That four-game November run is the opportunity to stabilize the ranking and stay in the CFP conversation's outer tier.
