TCU pummeled former No. 6 Utah by the score of 47-7; the Utes fell nine places to No. 15. Boise State, in turn, fell two places to No. 4 despite annihilating Hawaii by a 42-7 margin.

LSU (8-1) soared seven spots to No. 5 after defeating former No. 5, Alabama (7-2), in a clash of SEC titans. The Crimson Tide fell six spots to No. 11. Oklahoma State (8-1) also rose seven places to No. 12 after crushing Baylor by a 55-28 margin.
