The Associated Press' Top-10 did not fare well overall this weekend, as four of those teams fell at least six places after suffering upsets.

The highlight of the week was Oklahoma's (7) stunning defeat of Baylor (10) in Waco that helped the Sooners jump five places and dropped the Bears by six. With TCU (11) beating Kansas, the Big 12 now has one unbeaten team and three one-loss teams.

Oklahoma State (4) rose one spot after beating Iowa State and now controls its own destiny. If the Cowboys win out, (their final two games are home bouts with Baylor and Oklahoma) they will be undefeated and conference champions.

LSU (17) made competing with Alabama (3) for the SEC West a lot harder by losing to Arkansas. Paired with the Tide's win, the Tigers fell from a loss-column tie atop the division to second place. LSU will have to win out just to have a chance, but Alabama is once again in the driver's seat.

Stanford (15) and Utah (18) both fell eight places after upset losses, but still have the inside track on winning their respective divisions. Stanford has a one-game lead in the loss column on Oregon (23), but the Ducks' win gives them the advantage in the event of a tie atop the Pac-12 North.

Utah, on the other hand, is now tied with USC (22) for the Pac-12 South and are also at a disadvantage if the final standings end that way. USC's win over Utah sparked a four-game winning streak the Trojans hope extends through their final matchups with Oregon and UCLA.

Clemson (1), Ohio State (2), and Alabama remained atop the AP Poll in week 12, but the rest of the poll was in flux. Joining the poll this week were USC, Oregon, Washington State (24), and Ole Miss (25).
