- Notre Dame surged from No. 11 to No. 5 after a signature win against Miami, marking a significant rise and positioning the team for a potential first-round home playoff game.
- Indiana dropped five spots to No. 9 despite no recent game, reflecting the selection committee's weekly reassessment process, while Texas secured the No. 6 spot with consistent wins and strong metrics.
