Tallahassee:

2. Florida State
15. Robert Morris (NEC)

7. Oklahoma State
10. LSU

LSU rejoins the field on the heels of three straight victories, including over Tennessee and Georgia. That’s the good thing about the SEC: You can take some losses and still make up for them by beating good teams.

Los Angeles:

3. UCLA
14. UNLV (Mountain West)

6. DePaul (Big East)
11. Dayton (Atlantic 10)

UCLA continues to trend up, and a season sweep over USC only helps. The Bruins have now won 10 out of 11 and their win over Baylor in November is looking better by the day. If they can muster a win at Oregon, who’s to say they can’t climb further?
