I have them move up 2 spots since it makes the rest of the poll make a little bit more sense. Comes out on top of a Mississippi State > Missouri > Florida > Ole Miss chain with a dominant win over Mississippi St. Also dominated a Kentucky team that found itself floating up. |

Ranking NW here after a dominant win over PSU suggests that Indiana was not a fluke. |
| 16 |
Mississippi State Bulldogs
|
No movement after getting stomped on since their win over Missouri looks phenomenal now. |
| 17 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Move into 17 after stomping Florida but limited by a Mississippi St that got stomped by Alabama. |

got dominated by a team that got dominated by a team that lost to a team that got dominated by a team. |
| 25 |
