No surprise, really, although I would have liked to pass Georgia. A very stable poll overall, with no changes in the top 7, no team moving up more than 1 spot, only 3 teams moving down more than one spot, and no teams leaving.
Top 5: 1. South Carolina (same as last week, 26 1st place votes, same as last week), 2. Connecticut (same, 6 votes, same), 3. Baylor (same), 4. Notre Dame (same), 5. Maryland (same).
Big Ten: 5. Maryland (same), 17. Iowa (same), 18. Nebraska (up 1), also receiving votes: Northwestern (t31st, up 5 from last week, 5 points, up 1 from last week)
Other RU opponents: 6. Tennessee (same), 11. North Carolina (up 1), also receiving votes: LSU (t31st, up 5 from last week, 5 points, up 1 from last week)
For those with eagle eyes, yes, Northwestern and LSU were tied with 4 points last week and are tied with 5 points this week. At this rate, they'll both join the top 25 somewhere around the beginning of the 2018-19 season.
RU picked up 21 points this week, and is now 19 points behind Georgia and 30 points ahead of GWU.
