Not much action in the great Northwest in the top 25 as the Oregon Ducks remained in ninth after a bye this weekend, and the University of Washington just missing the cut at 28th.
Defending champions Auburn moves themselves into the poll after taking out South Carolina, while Wisconsin moved up to fourth after taking apart Nebraska.
