14 | Florida State | +0 - I don't think UCF is as bad of a loss as it looks, in fact I threw them in my poll this week |

22 | San Diego State | -13 - BYU loss is bad, but not enough to unrank because I still think SDSU is an excellent team. One more though and they're gone |
23 | UCF | NR |
24 | Illinois | -8 - Illinois and Creighton both have the talent to be ranked but haven't really been playing like it. Didn't want to drop them quite yet |
