The top four remain the same this week. No huge upsets this week. The rankings are now far less volatile than they were a few weeks ago. There was a bit of shuffling in the top 10, but not too much: Georgia Tech moved up to #5 with its win over Duke, and Cincinnati and Boise State each dropped down a notch. LSU dropped out of the top 10 with a rather unimpressive victory over Lousiana Tech, and Clemson took its place.
