After pulling off thrilling victories on Saturday, Oregon and Penn State both moved up a spot, to No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, behind No. 1 Texas in the AP Top 25 college football poll Sunday.

In quarterback Quinn Ewers’ return, Texas dominated then-No. 18 Oklahoma 34-3 in the Red River Rivalry game, bouncing the Sooners from the rankings and solidifying its hold on the top spot. The Longhorns (6-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) garnered four more first-place votes (56) than last week, with the other six going to Oregon.

The Ducks (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) fended off visiting Ohio State 32-31 in a wild conference matchup — featuring seven lead changes — and dropped the Buckeyes (5-1, 2-1) to No. 4.

Oregon had not been ranked this high since losing to Ohio State in the inaugural College Football Playoff championship game and finishing the 2014 season at No. 2.

Penn State (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) is enjoying its highest ranking in seven years after overcoming a 14-point, second-half deficit and edging host Southern California 33-30 on Ryan Barker’s overtime field goal.

Georgia topped visiting Mississippi State 41-31 to remain No. 5, followed by Miami, Alabama, LSU (up five spots after beating then-No. 9 Ole Miss 29-26), Iowa State and Clemson to round out the top 10.

Ole Miss (5-2, 1-2 SEC) experienced the poll’s biggest fall, dropping nine spots to No. 18 with its second loss in three weeks.

Army (6-0) and Navy (5-0) made their season debuts in the poll at Nos. 23 and 25 and are ranked together for the first time since 1960.

Upset 27-19 by unranked Arizona State for its second straight loss, then-No. 16 Utah fell out of the Top 25.
