AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas dropped one spot in the latest Associated Press Top 25 rankings after an uneven performance in a 27-10 win over UTEP on Saturday in Austin.

Miami rose a spot to No. 4, and Georgia moved into the top five. The Hurricanes spoiled South Florida's hot start to the season, beating the Bulls 49-12 to move up to No. 4, and the Bulldogs outlasted Tennessee 44-41 i
