Oklahoma moved up one spot in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll.

The Sooners are No. 19 after beating the Texas Longhorns and improving their record to 3-2.

OU is one of three Big 12 teams in the poll. Baylor is No. 13 and West Virginia is No. 21. Oklahoma State is just outside the top 25 in the 30th spot.

The Big Ten has four teams in the top 10 during the regular season for the first time since 1960, and No. 24 Western Michigan is ranked for the first time in school history.

No. 8 Wisconsin and No. 10 Nebraska joined No. 2 Ohio State and No. 4 Michigan in the first 10 of the AP Top 25 released Monday. The poll release was delayed one day because two FBS games were postponed until Sunday due to Hurricane Matthew.

Alabama remains No. 1. The Crimson Tide received 56 first-place votes. Ohio State and No. 3 Clemson each received two first-place votes. Michigan had one first-place vote.

Washington was fifth as the top five went unchanged after all had decisive victories last weekend.
