Notables

- The Big XII proved once again that this could be the best conference top to bottom in the nation. The West Virginia Mountaineers move up eight spots to take over the role of gate keeper in the Coaches' Poll. On the flip side of things, Baylor takes the biggest plunge dropping nine spots to thirteen.
- Stanford, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma St. were all dropped from the rankings this week.
