ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Unbeaten Texas retained its No. 1 spot when the latest USA Today college football poll was released Sunday.
The Longhorns (8-0) survived after a tense 28-24 win over Big 12 Conference foe Oklahoma State Saturday.
The No. 2 and 3 spots also stayed the same. Alabama (8-0) is second following its 29-9 win against SEC opponent Tennessee, and Penn State (9-0) is still third after a 13-6 victory over Big Ten rival Ohio State.
Oklahoma (7-1), and Texas Tech (8-0) filled the fourth and fifth spots, with Southern California (6-1) slipping from fourth to six. Florida (6-1), Georgia (7-1), Utah (8-0) and the Cowboys (7-1) round out the top-10.
In 11th place is Boise State (7-0), followed by TCU, Ohio State, Missouri, LSU, Florida State, Brigham Young, Tulsa, Ball State and Minnesota, which jumped up five places from 25th.
Spots 21-25 are filled by Michigan State, North Carolina, South Florida, Oregon and Maryland.
Next week's poll could see a shakeup after Texas-Texas Tech, Georgia-Florida, and Michigan State-Wisconsin tussles next Saturday afternoon.
