After the Arizona State Sun Devils were shocked by the UCLA Bruins Saturday night, their standings within the AP and USA Today polls this week evaporated, falling out of the top 25 in both of the polls. There were a lot of moves made within the polls this week though, let's take a closer look at some of them.
In the USA Today/Coaches Poll LSU held on to the top spot after taking out previous No. 2 Alabama Saturday night in Tuscaloosa, followed by the Stanford Cardinal, who used their win over Oregon State to move into the second spot. Oklahoma State and Alabama round out the top five followed by Boise State (6), Oklahoma (8), Arkansas (9), and Virginia Tech (10) as the rest of the top 10.
No. 9 Nebraska fell hard in the rankings, dropping 12 spots to No. 17 after their big loss to Northwestern. Previous No. 21 West Virginia lost to Louisville 38-35 to fall off the board as well, while previously unranked TCU and Auburn joined the top 25 this week at 24th and 25th respectfully.
