Meanwhile, the Buckeyes after their defeat of Indiana come in ahead of the Cougars and No. 2 Miami due to a tougher schedule and stronger résumé. OSU lost to the Longhorns in September but has posted road wins against No. 12 Iowa and the No. 6 Hoosiers previously two weeks.

But the BYU win against Notre Dame ranks among the best by any team this season, justifying the 10-spot leap from last week's ranking. The Hurricanes have a solid win against No. 18 Wake Forest and solid victories against No. 42 Clemson and No. 51 Florida State.

No. 4 Georgia and No. 5 Notre Dame drop three spots from last week. The Bulldogs lost 27-24 at home to Auburn. It climbed 12 spots to No. 26. Another two SEC teams created similar leaps in No. 13 Kentucky (up seven) and No. 25 Florida (up eight).

There's additionally a new No. 138 in this week's re-rank. Northern Illinois drops into last place after a blowout loss to Wyoming, becoming the third team to hold the bottom spot after Charlotte and Massachusetts. Share your feedback to support improve our site!
