Well the Crimson really put their foot down this week, going 4-0 and adding 3 full points to their rating score to push clear of the pack. Just some jostling for position in the top 8, while Michigan made one of the week’s strongest moves with a jump from #18 to #9 and GWU also made the top 10 for the first time. Houston (up 14 to #23) are another side headed in the right direction, while Wazzu had the biggest fall, down 24 to 77. And sorry to report, Nebraskans, your Huskers are back at #100 after Minnesota posted a 4-0 week and a combined 48-9 scoreline to “soar” to #98.
