This week was quiet in comparison to most upset-wise, but three top ten teams still fell making room for a trio of new teams in the top ten.

There are also three new teams in the top 25 overall after losses by Tennessee, Texas Tech and Kansas State dropped them from the rankings.

The biggest gainer of the week was Kansas who proved themselves to the panel with a win at Colorado. The Jayhawks jumped seven spots from 15th into a tie for eight.

Missouri moved up five spots after a big win over Texas Tech re-established the Tigers as a power in the Big 12.

South Carolina's upset loss to Vanderbilt sent the Gamecocks to the biggest fall of the week, ten spots from sixth to 16th. 

Kentucky was also punished for a home loss to Florida as they dropped eight spots this week.

Voting in the poll this week are Cliff Chartrand, Matt Rock, Chris Mitchell, Kyle Staff, Clay Culp, Ben Dishong and Austin Baird.

First place votes are in parentheses.
