ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Baylor has matched its highest ranking ever in the AP Top 25.

A day after overcoming their first double-digit deficit of the season, and another lopsided victory to stay undefeated, the Big 12-leading Bears moved up a spot to third in the new poll Sunday.

The Bears (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) jumped ahead of Ohio State (10-0). Alabama and Florida State, both 10-0, stayed in the top two spots.

After a 6-0 start in 1953, Baylor was third in the AP poll for a two-week stretch before losing three of its last four games.

Baylor has won a school-record 13 in a row after a 63-34 victory over Texas Tech. Next is Saturday at No. 11 Oklahoma State, the preseason Big 12 favorite that has won six in a row.
