OSU obviously jumped up three spots to No. 6 after its drumming of Pitt on the road. Mississippi State moved up after its win over LSU. TCU got a bump after its three-score win over SMU and now heads into Stillwater for a top-16 Big 12 opener showdown.

Who dropped off?

There was a bit of a shakeup at the bottom of the rankings. Kansas State, Tennessee, UCLA and Stanford all dropped out of the top 25 after Week 3 losses and LSU was taken down a peg as well.
