Dropped Out: #13 Tennessee, #17 Indiana, #22 Missouri, #24 Utah State, #25 LSU. Tennessee had a rough week with two losses. Indiana and Missouri had their soft schedules catch up to them. Utah State learned that the Bulls got some hands. LSU struggled against Boston College and then promptly got destroyed by Texas Tech. Tennessee has gotta bounce back this week. The Houston win is carrying them at the moment and is the main reason they are still under consideration.
