The top 25 was pretty quiet this week with only the Miami Hurricanes being the only ranked team to lose this week, they were crushed by Florida State. Fresno State needed a big fourth quarter to pull away from Nevada to win 41-23, and remain undefeated. Northern Illinois is the other undefeated non-BCS team, and they cruised past UMass 63-19 on Saturday afternoon.
With there being no loses among the teams ranked between 10 and 15 this week; Fresno State will remain at No. 16 and one spot ahead of Northern Illinois who is No. 17. Fresno State will also likely increase their lead over Northern Illinois based on the computer ratings since UMASS is one of the worst teams in FBS, and while Nevada is 3-6 they are considered a much better team than UMASS.
