You're going to start seeing solidifying throughout these polls now that we're really getting deep into conference play. There weren't too many upsets last week, but enough top-25 teams playing top-25 teams to cause a shift.
Which helped teams on the outside looking in (like Utah). My poll isn't much different from last week's, which I'm fine with.

The largest change came from Auburn, who I woefully overrated. They were waxed by Arkansas and stayed ranked because, well, I just don't know who should replace them.
In fact, that seems to be the general trend. Once you get to the last 20, I don't really know who is deserving and who is not. South Florida? South Carolina? Utah? I guess they all have a legitimate case and are there because other programs on the cusp either lost last week (Wisconsin, Michigan), have worse losses (West Virginia, Pitt) or more than one-loss (Oklahoma).
