| 16 | Auburn | +9 same with Wisconsin |
| 17 | Kentucky | +2 |
| 18 | Duke | -5 |
| 19 | TCU | +2 |
| 20 | Charleston | -3 reevaluated a bit, VT loss doesn't look as good and no other strong wins |
| 21 | Mississippi State | -6 Biggest riser: Auburn (25->16) |
| 22 | New Mexico | NR Biggest faller: Virginia Tech (18->UR) |
| 23 | Indiana | +1 New to poll: 22 New Mexico, 25 West Virginia |
| 24 | Maryland | -1 Dropped out: 20 Illinois |
| 25 | West Virginia | NR Next 5: Virginia Tech, Illinois, Xavier, Iowa State, Memphis |
Overall Rationale
I don't like Wisconsin or Auburn that high. Maybe I should drop Mississippi State more. TCU is a bit high but they just won a quality game.
