GRAPEVINE, Texas — Baylor and Ohio State jumped past TCU in the final Associated Press college football poll Sunday.

No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Florida State and No. 3 Oregon held their places from last week in the final media poll of the regular season.

The Bears were fourth and Buckeyes were fifth, with TCU dropping to two spots to sixth after Baylor and Ohio State had impressive wins against ranked teams on Saturday.

TCU routed lowly Iowa State to finish its season as co-champion of the Big 12 with Baylor.

The final College Football Playoff rankings will be released later Sunday and the four-team field for the playoff will be set.

The rest of the top 10 is Michigan State at seven, followed by Mississippi State, Mississippi and Georgia Tech.
