A week after a bunch of upsets in the top 10, we probably had the most boring week of the season. Ohio State and Indiana remain 1st and 2nd. Texas A&M jumps Miami for the #3 ranking. Georgia, Alabama, BYU, Ole Miss, Notre Dame and Texas Tech round out the top 10.

The SEC leads the way with 12 teams in my top 40. The Big 10 has 9 teams, followed by the Big 12 with 8 teams, the ACC with 6 teams and the AAC with 4 teams.
