So who are the biggest winners and the biggest losers?
The biggest two winners are currently sitting in 4th and 5th place. Penn State went 2-0 this week while many of the teams that were ahead of them lost. The other big climber, Louisville, jumped up the polls thanks to a win over then #4 Duke and then #15 Michigan. Both teams deserve to see their stocks rise and they will definitely be tested in big games coming up.
Who dropped? Duke dropped the game against Louisville and saw themselves fall from #4 to #9. Duke has had a lot of strong wins this season though, so it would not be surprising to see them pull off a few more big wins and go back into the top five. Boston College fell to #12 this week after two heartbreaking overtime loses against Wake Forest and Northwestern. Both games were close and exciting as overtime usually is.
There are many matchups this upcoming weekend involving ranked teams going head to head, so we will see some changes in the next week. While the polls give us a good idea of how good the teams are, the actual games tell us the real story.
