Biggest movers 

  • No. 48 New Mexico State (+19): Jerry Kill has completed marvelous paintings with the Aggies, and the truth that this staff has landed in Conference USA and right away jumped to the top of the league may have got our voter’s consideration by itself.

Much of the early season used to be stuffed with wins in opposition to lower-ranked groups, however fresh victories in opposition to Wyoming and Air Force have validated the spectacular win general. 
  • No. 55 Auburn (-9): There used to be certain to be an adjustment for shedding at house to New Mexico State, which now marks two seasons in a row that Hugh Freeze has misplaced outright to Jerry Kill’s Aggies as a heavy favourite.
