There was a minor shakeup in the top 10, with Florida dropping four spots — from No. 3 to No. 7 — after getting swept at Tennessee. That might not seem like a harsh enough punishment, but there’s no shame in losing three games to the No. 1 team in the nation on the road. Texas, which swept Mississippi State in Starkville, jumped from No. 8 to No. 6, and Stanford crashed the top 10 after sweeping Duke at home.
Alabama was the biggest mover of the week, up from No. 21 to No. 11 following an impressive weekend sweep at Texas A&M.
No teams dropped out of the poll this week.
