| 4 |
Ohio State
|

West Virginia
|
(+2) WVU made a great comeback over the floundering Texas and they've been overall impressive these past weeks. |
| 10 |
Iowa
|
(+3) Iowa's not-top-10 streak ended quickly with a wins over Wisconsin and Penn St. It looks like, so far, they've regained footing. |
| 11 |
Florida State
|
(+6) Florida State second game coming off of pause went alright. All they did was beat Virginia by 21. |
| 12 |
Creighton
|
+2 |
| 13 |
Houston
|
(-6) Houston's third loss in the AAC put them at 2nd in the conference. They still have the most wins, but they should be undefeated. |
| 14 |
Kansas
|
(+9) Kansas has been on fire, winning five in a row including wins over Oklahoma State, and most recently, Texas Tech. |
| 15 |
Texas Tech
|
(-3) There's not too much wrong with a loss @ Kansas. A short drop for TTU. |
| 16 |
Virginia
|
(-10) UVA had an awful week. A massive blowout loss to FSU and then a loss to the 10-8 Duke. A drop outside the top 15 is warranted. |
| 17 |
Virginia Tech
|
+1 |
| 18 |
Arkansas
|
+1 |
| 19 |
Oklahoma State
|
+2 |
| 20 |
USC
|
(-4) USC lost for the first time in a very long time, in the form of a 9-point home loss to Arizona. |
| 21 |
Texas
|
(-6) Worrying time has past, it's time to start panicking about Texas. A meltdown loss to WVU gives Texas a 2-4 record over their past 6. |
| 22 |
LSU
|
(NR) LSU put on an offensive masterclass against Auburn. There's a nasty loss to UK, but other than that this team has a nice resume. |

| 24 |
Loyola Chicago
|
- |
