Purdue, on the other hand, broke into the Top 25 at #22 this week. Other new entrants to our Top 25 include Wisconsin (49-25 winners over #91 Illinois), Utah (who beat #49 USC 41-28), Miami (who had a bye this week) and Texas A&M (who also had a bye this week). Dropping out of the Top 25 were Cincinnati (who lost to #75 Temple 24-17), Duke (who lost to #45 Virginia 28-14), Army (who took two overtimes to beat #86 Miami of Ohio 31-30), North Texas (who lost to #43 UAB 29-21), and Texas (who had a bye but slipped from #24 to #26 in our analysis). Team movement during a bye (up or down) can be caused by the performance of teams that a given team has previously played in their schedule (affecting their strength of schedule), or wins and losses of teams that are ranked near a certain team can also push that team up or down.
