Tom Murphy explains his Associated Press Top 25 ballot | Whole Hog Sports

Tom Murphy, an Associated Press voter, reshuffled his Top 25 ballot after the unbeaten top group in the Big 12 was cut by two teams on Saturday. He kept Miami at No. 1, with Ohio State and Georgia still next at Nos. 2 and 3. BYU, which he said he felt less confident about than many voters, slid five spots to No. 9 after a double-overtime loss to UCF. Texas Tech dropped six places to No. 11 after losing 37-24 at Cincinnati. Utah remained the only unbeaten Big 12 team, rising to No. 6 following a 21-13 home win over Houston. In the SEC, Ole Miss and Tennessee fell after road defeats, while Kentucky jumped six spots to No. 8 after beating Vanderbilt 34-17.
