Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, Georgia and Texas Tech remain the top five in the latest College Football Playoff Rankings, released on Tuesday night.
After a steady week with nonconference blowouts, there was little movement in the top 10, with only Ole Miss and Oregon switching places - the former now No 6 and the latter No 7.
Oregon's impressive victory over Southern California in one of last week's few games between ranked teams accounted for its move up one spot over Mississippi, which didn't play last week.
The other meaningful change was Miami's move to No. 12, in a switch with Utah after the Utes gave up 472 yards rushing in a tight win over Kansas State.
Pitt's return to the rankings - at No. 22 - after falling out for a week impacts the meaning of its key Atlantic Coast Conference game against the Hurricanes, who need a win and some help to make the conference title game but still have hopes of making the playoff bracket as an at-large.
Following the Buckeyes for the fourth time in four rankings were fellow undefeated teams Indiana and Texas A&M. Georgia stayed at No. 4, followed by Texas Tech. After Oregon and Mississippi came Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Alabama and BYU.

Ohio State and Indiana will play in what should be a 1 vs. 2 Big Ten title game if both win rivalry games on the road over Thanksgiving weekend.
Ohio State's task is more difficult - against Michigan, which moved up three spots to No. 15. Indiana plays Purdue.
No. 10 Alabama plays at Auburn with a spot in the Southeastern Conference title game on the line.
Their opponent would be Texas A&M if the Aggies win at No. 16 Texas.
