The newest AP poll is here, and we have a swap of the SEC teams at the top of the board following Week 6 conference action.
Biggest risers
The Mississippi State Bulldogs are 4-1, and after a bye week they’re heading to the Kentucky Wildcats for a battle of upstarts in the SEC. And the undefeated 6-0 UCLA Bruins are 3-0 in the Pac-12, having beaten back the Utah Utes in the Rose Bowl on Saturday. The Bruins should be favored the rest of the way in the league until their matchup with the USC Trojans during the penultimate weekend of the regular season.
Biggest fallers
That Utah team who fell 42-32 to the Bruins for their second loss of the season is still ranked, and can get back plenty of momentum with a win over USC on Saturday. But the real pain came for the Kentucky Wildcats, who without starting quarterback Will Levis suffered their second-straight defeat to the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Other USC is deservedly lightly regarded and a loss at home to them might spell the end of UK’s dreams of a huge matchup with Georgia to close out SEC play in 2022.
