After a strong week, Texas jumped Texas Tech to reach no. 2 in this week's poll. The Longhorns earned seven first-place votes, but still sit behind Tennessee. The two teams won't play during the regular season. The rest of the top 10 remained the same, though it surely won't next week, with Texas Tech and Florida State facing off on Wednesday and providing an opportunity for a shakeup. Once again, there were no newcomers to the poll.

Will NiJaree Canady and Texas Tech be able to get through unscathed, or will Florida State add a big win to its resume?
