Penn State, Oklahoma State, Minnesota and Iowa remained in the 1-4 spots.

Despite losing 17-16 to Central Michigan, Missouri stayed at No. 7, while the Chippewas moved up one spot, in a tie for 11th with Virginia. Oklahoma, with its loss to UNI, slid three spots to No. 16. Bloomsburg continued to move up the rankings, moving up one spot to No. 19.
