Mike, two of the three preseason spots gave way: Michigan fell out of the poll, 30 points, and Oregon won and still dropped from No. 2 to No. 6, twelve more. Texas Tech slipped a spot, Iowa gained one. The entry is 258th at 172, down from 18th. Illinois, on eight entries, drew six votes and is still the pick very few can match.

Florida State lost and is 1-1, idle this week. Illinois hosts Duke on Saturday. Michigan hosts No. 11 Oklahoma with 69 votes to defend and nine entries on the Sooners, and a win likely returns the Wolverines and their points. Oregon goes to Oklahoma State needing to look like a No. 2 again. Taylor White, five teams in common, is 219th.
