Week 5 is approaching and there are some shake-ups in the polls. Texas goes from #7 all the way down to #21 after their loss to UCLA. That alone meant there was going to be a new Top 10. West Virginia’s loss to Oklahoma knocked them out of the Top 25 leaving no Big East team in this week’s post. *sigh*
This week we have the start of some intense conference play as well as matches of one ranked team against another—starting with #1 vs #7. Then there’s #4 vs #9, #8 vs #21, #11 vs #24, and #17 vs #22. Should be interesting.
[The three numbers for the rankings are from the AP Top 25, The Harris Coaches’ Poll, and CBSSports.com. An “NR” means that that particular poll did Not Rank the team.]
