Alabama and Florida stayed on top, with Texas jumping up to #3 after their win over Oklahoma. There are still seven undefeated teams, with Kansas and South Florida falling for the first time this week--and falling significantly in the rankings as well. Virginia Tech lost for the second time, but remains in the top ten due to strength of schedule. The biggest jump was made by Texas Tech, who after beating Nebraska has shot up to #14.
