| 2 |

| 3 |
Ohio State Buckeyes

Texas Tech Red Raiders

BYU falls, but the Red Raiders remain a team to beat |
| 5 |
Oregon Ducks

Idle |

| 11 |

| 12 |

| 13 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
Bama loss looks worse, idle |
| 14 |
BYU Cougars
|
Boatraced by a good TT team, not too far a fall but can't stay up |

Idle |
| 16 |
USC Trojans
|
Idle |
| 17 |
Michigan Wolverines

James Madison Dukes
|
Won over Troy but an uglier game than expected, and Tulane's beat a better team by more |
| 20 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Forced OT but couldn't get it done against a middling Duke team |
| 21 |
Arizona Wildcats
|
Idle but move up with NDSU/UNT losses |
| 22 |
Navy Midshipmen
|
Idle but move up with NDSU/UNT losses |
| 23 |

Tulane is good, so not too far a drop, but not a particularly close game |
| 24 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
Idle but move back in, helped ironically by Duke win |
| 25 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
Idle but move back in, helped particularly by IU win |
