The unbeaten Hoosiers (16-0) remain No. 1 for another week, holding their ground while chaos rearranges everything beneath them. But the real earthquake came from South Florida: the Hurricanes (13-3) rocketed from No. 10 all the way to No. 2, the single biggest jump inside the top 10 and a signal that Miami isn't just winning — they're peaking at the right time.
The middle of the poll tells a story of attrition. The Bulldogs (12-2) tumbled from No. 2 to No. 6, the Sooners (10-3) slid five spots from No. 8 to No. 13, and the Red Raiders (12-2) fell from No. 4 to No. 7. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers (11-3) quietly climbed four spots to No. 16, and three newcomers — the Hawkeyes (9-4), Cougars (10-3), and Horned Frogs (9-4) — crashed the party at Nos. 17, 22, and 25.
What the poll says: the Hoosiers are the ceiling, the Hurricanes are the momentum, and everyone else is just trying to survive the slide.
