Biggest Movers:
Auburn Tigers (+7). Bo Nix is playing the best football of his career, and the Tigers are finding ways to win. They easily made the biggest jump in the ESPN FPI.
Cincinnati Bearcats (+4). Perhaps Cincinnati is a little low in the FPI. However, the Bearcats are mowing down the competition this season.
Pittsburgh Panthers (+4). Is any quarterback improving their draft stock more than Kenny Pickett? Additionally, he’s also leading the charge of the Panthers to the top of the ACC.
Arkansas Razorbacks (-7). Everything was going great for Sam Pittman’s squad, but three straight losses have sent them twirling. No team needs a win next week more than the Razorbacks.
Oregon Ducks (-5). Much like Arkansas, the season was going so well at one point for the Ducks. Now, it seems like Mario Cristobal’s squad is simply lost.
Clemson Tigers (-3). Speaking of lost, Clemson is continually falling down the ESPN FPI. After barely escaping Syracuse with a victory, Dabo Swinney has his work cut-out for him.
