Oklahoma jumped back into the poll for the first time since early in the season. LSU returned for the first time since the pre-season poll. Nebraska, Baylor and West Virginia all remained in the poll, but dropped in the rankings. – The SEC led all conferences with five teams, followed by four teams from the Big Ten, three from the Big 12 and two each from the ACC and Pac-12. |
