It was a week where there wasn’t much movement at all inside the top 10, just Indiana fell out after falling to Ohio State in a thrilling 45-38 loss, although they didn’t fall far, just two spots to No. 12.
The top 5 teams remained the same, Alabama still No. 1 with the Irish, Ohio State, Clemson and Florida rounding out to the top 5. The biggest riser this week was Northwestern, as they defeated Wisconsin at home and they look like they’re they favorites to win the Big Ten West.
The Badgers and Oklahoma State both took big hits to their rankings, they each fell 8 spots after their respective losses.
Around the ACC, North Carolina State defeated formerly No. 22 Liberty, as the loss knocked them out of the Coaches Poll entirely. That was it for the conference’s ranked games, as No. 4 Clemson vs. Florida State and No. 9 Miami, FL vs. Georgia Tech were both postponed this weekend. No. 23 North Carolina, like Notre Dame, had a bye this weekend.
