24. Virginia (19-5)
25. Indiana State (22-3)
We have four new teams in the poll this week, with Saint Mary’s, Colorado State, Virginia and Indiana State joining the proceedings. Each received votes last week and are on winning streaks of 12, four, eight and nine games, respectively. Utah State just stays in after taking a loss to Nevada at home, but bouncing back with a 19-point win over Boise State.
Texas Tech might be the currently ranked team to hold onto a spot that we didn’t project here. The Red Raiders split their games this week, falling at Baylor before returning home and defeating UCF.
