(-5) Really glad Houston was their first loss, not as happy that they lost to WSU, still a solid team |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
(-2) they can actually beat PSU lmao, also just an overall better record then OSU |
| 11 |
Arizona
|
(+6) Won at Arizona State, pass a bunch of teams with losses |
| 12 |
Auburn
|
(+1) Auburn will be one of the few 11-25 with a loss moving up, due to a good win vs. Kentucky and a tough loss to SC |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
(+5) If UNC keeps with a consistent rhythm, they will definitely be back in top 10 |
| 14 |
Wichita State
|
(+5) They're finally back, a win @Cincinnati is going to do amazing things for their placing from here on |
| 15 |
Houston
|
(+5) Hopefully now people can see why I think so highly of Houston |
| 16 |
Ohio State
|
(-9) The severity of the drop is much more for how poorly OSU performed this week, and for an apparent overestimation |
| 17 |
URI
|
(-8) I knew when URI finally met their match, the fact that their in the really mediocre A10 would hit them hard |
| 18 |
Clemson
|
(-7) Clemson had a bad week against good opponents, but I'm losing a lot of faith |
| 19 |
Michigan
|
(+6) Michigan is finally being consistent and beating good teams again |
| 20 |
Tennessee
|
(-4) Tennessee doesn't have the record that Auburn does to keep getting losses and not falling from them |
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
(+1) A loss @ Kansas will not hurt this team |
| 22 |
Saint Mary's
|
(-8) A loss to anyone but Zaga would put them this low |

Nevada
|
(NR) All other teams were NR, Nevada slips back in because everyone sucks |
