Virginia topped last week’s inaugural consolidated ranking, and proceeded to lose four straight games, getting crushed at home 14-5 by Old Dominion on Wednesday then getting swept by instate rival Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. The terrible week plummeted the Cavilers all the way to #8 in this week’s edition.
TCU swept Baylor, propelling the Horned Frogs to the top spot this week, but they’re followed closely by Florida and LSU, both of whom also received first place nods from publications that we track.
SEC clubs occupy five of the top six slots, with Vanderbilt, unbeaten Texas A&M and South Carolina rounding out that group. After that grouping however, it becomes increasingly more difficult to find consensus. Clarity could come by way of a couple good top 25 conference match-ups this weekend.
#16 Arizona State will travel to Eugene to take on #11 Oregon in PAC 12 action and #8 Virginia will host #14 Florida State in ACC play.
