Oregon and Georgia remain No. 1 and 2, respectively, on my Associated Press Top 25 ballot heading into Week 10.

With only one team in the top 15 losing last week, there weren’t any drastic changes near the top of my rankings.

Rounding out my top five are Penn State, Ohio State and Miami. New to my Top 25 this week: Colorado, Washington State and Memphis.

Here's my AP Top 25 ballot for Week 10 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.
