No. 8 BYU and No. 9 Texas Tech gave the Big 12 two teams in the top 10 for the first time since Oct. 29, 2023. The Cougars, who were idle, have their highest ranking of the season. The Red Raiders won at Kansas State and re-entered the top 10 for the first time in three weeks. The two teams face each other this weekend.

Here's a team we'll be talking about this week, the only three-loss squad potentially being inside the top 25. Why? The Fighting Illini's strength of schedule ranks No. 6 and their setbacks have come against Ohio State, Indiana and Washington. Wins over Duke and USC were impressive.
