Texas edges Oregon for top spot in college football's NCAA Re-Rank 1-134
Texas holds on at No. 1 ahead of Oregon in the USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-134 after the Ducks scored a mammoth Big Ten win against Ohio State.
The win stands as the most impressive by any team this season, trumping Alabama's win earlier this month against Georgia. But the Longhorns took care of business in the rivalry against Oklahoma, helping the stay on top of the re-rank for another week as the only unbeaten team in the SEC.
Oregon and Ohio State simply trade spots after Saturday night's classic. The Ducks are up one to No. 2 while the Buckeyes drop one spot to No. 3, ahead of No. 4 Penn State and No. 5 Georgia. Iowa State steps up to No. 6 after winning at West Virginia, pushing Miami back one to No. 7.
