Sam, both sides of the biggest game were yours and the ranked side padded the total: LSU beat Clemson and climbed from 11th to 8th, twelve points. Notre Dame moved to No. 3. Then Michigan fell out of the poll, 30 in a line, and the entry is 206th at 190, down from 82nd, level with Patrick Burton, six teams in common. The unranked three went 0-3.

Boise State kept 86 votes and hosts a 2-0 Memphis on Saturday; Clemson has none; California goes to Syracuse. 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. Louisville lost and somehow kept 24th; Friday against Villanova matters.
