The Cardinals, who have remained unbeaten while losing one of their best players to a career-ending spine injury, are ranked in the Top 25 for the first time.
After a week with few upsets, the top of media poll only underwent slight alterations.
Oklahoma was No. 1 with 51 first-place votes and 1,608 points, gaining a few points and top votes in its second week on top of the rankings this season.
No. 2 Alabama has 13 first-place votes and 1,537 points. Missouri moved up one spot to No. 3 after winning 52-17 at Nebraska.
LSU dropped a spot to No. 4 after an off week, and Texas remained No. 5. The Longhorns and Sooners meet Saturday in the annual Red River Rivalry in Dallas.
It’ll be the fourth time since 2001 that Texas and Oklahoma will play with both teams in the top five and first time since 2004.

Good for Ball State, but I don't know what else Tulsa has to do to get in the top 25? Maybe beat the NY Giants?
