The Big Ten’s big two — Oregon and Ohio State — remain at the top of my Associated Press Top 25 ballot, while undefeated BYU and Indiana move into my top five.

With Georgia and Miami losing, there was a lot of shuffling on my ballot this week with Ole Miss making the biggest leap in my rankings.

New to my Top 25 this week: Arizona State and Missouri.

Here's my AP Top 25 ballot for Week 12 of the college football season compared with Action Network senior writer Collin Wilson’s betting power ratings.

Note: The "AP" column is my AP Poll ballot ranking for each team. The "PR" column is where each team sits in Action Network's betting power ratings.
