However, there are still some powerhouses that remain at the top of the list and all respect to them for that. Namely, Nebraska who is picking up from last year and sitting in the number 1 spot. Sadly, their championship hopes were cut short last year, but maybe this year they can have a different outcome. Pitt is right behind them in the number 2 spot though with a similar record of 10-0 on the season. That's honestly dang impressive. These two schools are certainly setting themselves up as the teams to beat this year. From there, things start to get mixed up a little bit with Kentucky having beaten Louisville this week. That sees the two teams flip positions so that Louisville drops down to 4th place, and Kentucky moves up to third. I'd actually forgotten these two teams were so highly ranked, so when the match was on earlier this week I should have paid a bit more attention to it. SMU, Wisconsin, and Texas all stay put in the 5th, 6th, and 7th positions respectively. Then we have Florida who moves up to the number 8 spot from 10. Arizona State also moved up from 12th to 9th. Much of this can be attributed to the loss by Stanford and Penn State which saw them drop from the 8th and 9th spots down to 12 and 14. This ends up shifting the whole bottom part of the rankings a bit. Purdue move up to 10th from 11th, TCU goes to 11th from 13th, and as I said before we then have Stanford at 12. Tennessee moves up to 13 having been at 16, and again Penn State takes a tumble down to 14th. Minnesota dropped down to 15 from the 14 spot, and Texas A&M drops down to 16 from 15. Baylor made a small jump from 18 to 17, and Indiana took a huge move going from the 21 spot up to 18. Likewise Kansas and Oregon both moved three spots with Kansas sitting at 19 now from 22 and Oregon at 20 from 23. Colorado took a tumble from 17 to 21, BYU moved from 24 to 22, and Southern Cal dropped from 19 to 23. Finally, we have North Carolina moving up to 24 from 25, and Creighton dropping down to the 25 spot having been in the 20 slot. It's important to remember, these rankings are based on records, but also mostly on ballots by coaches, so I think they are subjective and should be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, there is still a lot of respect to be had for those teams that are absolutely crushing it! ---------- ### [My Sports Account - @bozz.sports](https://www.peakd.com/@bozz.sports) ---------- #### Come hang out in [The Pub](https://peakd.com/c/hive-178138/created) [Find us on Discord](https://discord.gg/cCEMJXAEXk) Or Check out my [Grilling and Smoking Community on HIVE](https://peakd.com/c/hive-138631/created) ------------- ![TEAMUSAhive_footer_bozz.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bozz/fXpCTKUZ-TEAMUSA-hive_footer_bozz.jpg) ---------------- *All pictures/screenshots taken by myself or @mrsbozz unless otherwise sourced*
