BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Up and coming surprises Texas makes its way up The Associated Press' poll
BY RALPH D. RUSSO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas is changing some minds.
The second-ranked Longhorns picked up two more first-place votes in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday, gaining on No.1 Southern California.
USC is on top of the rankings for a record 27th straight poll. The Trojans received 55 first-place votes and 1,615 points. The Longhorns, coming off a 52-17 victory over previously unbeaten Texas Tech, received the remaining 10 first-place votes and 1,569 points in the media poll.
"I didn't move USC down as much as I moved Texas up," said Joe Giglio of The New & Observer of Charlotte, N.C., one of two voters to switch Texas and USC this week. "I feel (the Longhorns) have a more complete resume and I'm really impressed with how they've handled their business."
After a Saturday with no major upsets, the top nine teams held their
positions in the Top 25. Virginia Tech is No. 3, followed by Georgia, Alabama, Miami, LSU, UCLA and Notre Dame.
Texas Tech was the only top-10 team to fall. The Red Raiders dropped seven spots to No. 17 after their first loss of the season. That leaves six unbeaten teams — USC, Texas, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Alabama and UCLA.
With USC and UCLA set to finish the season against each other and a Georgia-Alabama matchup in the Southeastern Conference title game possible, the regular season could end with four unbeaten teams.
Northwestern moved into the rankings this week for the first time since 2001. The Wildcats (5-2) defeated Michigan State 49-14 on Saturday and are now 21st in the country. The Spartans fell out of the rankings.
Michigan is back in the rankings after a 23-20 overtime victory at Iowa. The Wolverines have been in and out of the poll in an up-and-down season that has been filled with close games.
Earlier this season, Michigan snapped a string of 114 straight weeks in the rankings, which was the longest in the nation and dated back to 1998.
The Wolverines moved back into the poll after a win, then dropped back out after another loss. Two straight last-play victories over Penn State and the Hawkeyes have Michigan at No. 25.
The top five teams in the USA Today coaches' poll were identical to the AP rankings with USC, Texas, Virginia Tech, Georgia and Alabama.
No. 13 Boston College plays at Virginia Tech on Thursday night.
In the AP poll, No. 10 is Florida State, followed by Penn State and Ohio State.
No. 14 is Oregon, followed by Wisconsin and Florida, which has a big game coming up on Saturday.

Kansas freshman defeats No.1 player
The Kansas tennis team's freshmen showed talent and poise at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's regional championship in Salt Lake City.
Freshman Ksenia Bukina's appearance at the tournament was not surprising. It was who she beat that was special.
Bukina's first-round upset on Thursday of the tournament's No.1 seed, Maja Kovacek of New Mexico, sent a feeling of excitement through the Kansas tennis ranks.
"I am extremely proud of Ksenia," Kansas tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "For a freshman to come into a tournament of this caliber and eliminate the top seed is pretty impressive."
Bukina defeated Kovacek 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.
Following her first-round victory, Bukina lost a close second-round match to Big 12 opponent Vanessa Huete of Nebraska 4-6, 4-6.
Sophomore Elizaveta Avdeeva and senior Christine Skoda both dropped their first-round matches in three sets. They both advanced to the quarterfinals of the consolation draw before being eliminated.
All of Kansas' tournament qualifiers have now been eliminated.
Avdeeva and Bukina led in the doubles draw.The tandem eliminated Arkansas State's Chelminska and Engelbrect 8-5.This landed the pair a spot in the tournament's quarterfinals.
Skoda and junior Brittany Brown defeated their opening round challengers from the University of Denver 8-3. Freshman Edina Horvath and sophomore Lauren Hommell beat their first round opposition from Utah State 8-0.
The Jayhawks' next meet will be Nov. 4-6 at the University of Western Michigan in Kalamazoo, Mich.
