The Big Ten Conference championship game will be a battle of the top two teams in the Associated Press Top 25 poll as No. 1 Ohio State faces No. 2 Indiana at Indianapolis on Saturday.
Beyond that pair, the top five of the most recent poll Sunday was a bit scrambled with Georgia and Oregon moving up one spot to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. No. 5 Texas Tech jumped up two spots after a 49-0 blowout victory at West Virginia.
Texas A&M tumbled four spots to No. 7 after the Aggies lost for the first time this season, 27-17 at Texas.
While Miami and Vanderbilt each earned convincing victories, Miami moved up one spot to No. 12, while Vanderbilt dropped a spot to No. 13. No. 14 Texas moved up two spots.
Michigan fell three spots to No. 18 after its 27-9 loss to Ohio State, while James Madision, the highest-ranked Group of Five team, moved up a spot to No. 19.
No. 22 Arizona, No. 23 Navy and No. 25 Missouri all entered the Top 25 this week, while Tennessee, Pittsburgh and SMU fell out of the poll. Navy is set to face Army on Dec. 13.
