Published October 7, 2018 3:59 PM CDT

The University of Texas moves into the top 10 of the latest Associated Press college football poll after its big win over the Oklahoma Sooners.

UT beat OU 48-45 in Dallas thanks to a game winning field goal from kicker Cameron Dicker. The Horns are 5-1 for the first time since 2009, 3-0 in the Big 12 and are riding a five game winning streak.

Texas jumped 10 spots to No. 9 and are in the top 10 for the first time since September 19, 2010 when they reached No. 7.

Alabama and Georgia remain Nos. 1 and 2 respectively while Ohio State, Clemson and Notre Dame round out the top 5.

Only two other Big 12 teams are ranked in the AP poll: West Virginia at No. 6 and Oklahoma which fell to No. 11 after its Red River Showdown loss.

Oklahoma State lost for a second time and dropped out of the top 25 again after just re-entering last week.
