Ohio State, Baylor, Clemson and LSU remain the top four teams in The Associated Press Top 25 as the College Football Playoff selection committee prepares its first rankings.

There was little change in the poll with five of top 10 teams having an open date.

Ohio State, which suspended quarterback J.T. Barrett for this week’s game against Minnesota for being cited for operating a vehicle while impaired, was off Saturday and retained all 39 of its first-place votes.

North Carolina entered the ratings at No. 21 after beating Pittsburgh and Texas A&M is back in at No. 25 after defeating South Carolina.

Duke and Pittsburgh dropped out.
