NEW YORK (AP) -- Ohio State is the new No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll.

The Buckeyes moved up one spot in the Top 25 after preseason No. 1 Alabama lost for the first time this season. The Crimson Tide fell 35-21 on Saturday at South Carolina.

Oregon is No. 2, followed by Boise State, TCU, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Auburn.

Ohio State received 34 first-place votes and Oregon (15), Boise State (eight), TCU (one) and Oklahoma (two) also got first-place
votes from the media panel.

The Crimson Tide slipped to No. 8, LSU was No. 9 and South Carolina moved up nine spots to 10th after the program's first
victory against a top-ranked team.

The last time Ohio State was No. 1 was the final regular season poll of 2007.

Missouri jumped to No. 21 after its shutout-victory over Colorado and Iowa stayed at No. 15.
