NEW YORK (AP) - Fresh from yesterday's 45-35 victory over Oklahoma, Texas has leaped from No. 5 all the way to the top spot in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll.

Ohio State is holding at No. 12.

The Longhorns are on top during the regular season for the first time in 24 years. Their jump to No. 1 is the largest since Miami went from No. 6 to No. 1 in August of 1988.

Texas is the fourth No. 1 team this season, following Georgia, Southern California and Oklahoma. So it's just more of the same following an unpredictable 2007 season that had four No. 1 teams and eight different teams ranked second.


The Top 25 teams in The Associated Press college football poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through Oct. 11, total points based on 25 points for a first-place vote through one point for a 25th-place vote, and previous ranking:
Record Pts Pvs
1. Texas (39) 6-0 1,599 5
2. Alabama (26) 6-0 1,582 2
3. Penn St. 7-0 1,492 6
4. Oklahoma 5-1 1,306 1
5. Florida 5-1 1,284 11
6. Southern Cal 4-1 1,247 8
7. Texas Tech 6-0 1,210 7
8. Oklahoma St. 6-0 1,184 17
