The Sooners and Cowboys continue to climb in the AP Top 25 Poll after Saturday wins at home. 

OU crept up one spot to No. 8 after a solid 45-24 win over Baylor in Norman, while OSU jumped four spots to No. 14 after slipping past the Texas Tech Red Raiders 45-44 in Stillwater. 

West Virginia moved up to No. 10, up one spot, after holding off the Texas Longhorns 24-20. With the Mountaineers' victory, that gives the Big 12 two teams in the top 10 this week. 

College football hit the chaos button this weekend. For the first time since 1985, Nos. 2, 3 and 4 all lost on the same day. After picking up the pieces, we're left with a messy College Football Playoff picture and only three weeks of action left (including conference championship Saturday) before the CFP Selection Committee has to release its final rankings and name its top four.

Michigan lost, dropped in the polls and got jumped by Ohio State, but still has better odds to win the Big Ten than the Buckeyes. Clemson lost, dropped in the polls and got jumped by Louisville, but still has better odds to win the ACC than the Cardinals. Washington still has a clear path to the Pac-12 title, but after watching USC bottle up Jake Browning and the Huskies offense in Seattle, there's less confidence in their shot to win both the Apple Cup and the Pac-12 title game.

The AP voters reshuffled the top of the order, brought those USC Trojans into the mix (No. 15) and set the tone for what will be a lively week of debate across the country.
