6 | Houston | (+4) Has played really well since the Tulsa game and the Texas Tech win got a lot better. |
7 | Michigan | (-1) Alas, Michigan, what might've been. You could have been in the same tier as the top 2. With your first loss, you fall down. |
8 | Tennessee | (+3) Won their games and benefits from others losing. |

14 | St. Louis | (+5) Benefits hugely from others losing. |
15 | Virginia | (NR) Only undefeated team in ACC play left, and the 35-point thrashing of Clemson shoots them up. |

17 | Minnesota | (+4) Moves up after the big win against Michigan. |
18 | Creighton | (-11) Biggest drop this week. The loss to Butler is a bad look. |
