Oklahoma retained its top spot in the Associated Press poll, released Sunday, after beating Baylor 49-17. OU gained an additional eight first-place votes from No. 2 Alabama, which struggled at home with unranked Kentucky.

The teams in the top 5 stayed the same, though Missouri jumped to No. 3 past idle LSU after hammering Nebraska 52-17.

The only top-10 team to lose was South Florida.

Oklahoma State, coming off a 56-28 win over Texas A&M, moved up four spots to No. 17.

OU is also No. 1 in the Coaches and Harris polls, which factor into the BCS Standings.
