2012 NCAA Football Rankings: LSU survives scare, remains in Top 10 of BlogPoll

With another upset-filled weekend of college football in the books, the SB Nation BlogPoll Top 25 has undergone a facelift. There are new names at the top and some jostling in the middle as the postseason picture begins to unfold.

With a last-second score against potential spoiler Ole Miss, the LSU Tigers stayed in the Top 10 in the No. 9 slot. Texas A&M rolled in a non-conference game against FCS Sam Houston State to improve to 9-2 on the season. Despite the win, Texas A&M dropped out of the Top 10 when they were leapfrogged by Stanford, whose upset of No. 1 Oregon shot them up four spots in the rankings to No. 10. The Aggies are on the outside looking in at No. 11, but get a chance to creep back in as they close out their season against Missouri.

Elsewhere, Oklahoma and Texas held steady at No. 13 and No. 18, respectively. Oklahoma State continues their climb with a 59-21 win over Texas Tech, gaining three spots and settling in at No. 22.

Undefeated Notre Dame is the new No. 1, garnering 63 of the 71 first-place votes. Alabama is No. 2 with four first-place votes.
