Ole Miss and Mississippi State remain at the top, Auburn falters against State but the cost of losing to the undefeated bulldogs isn't enough to drop them and they climb anyway thanks to Arizona's loss. Undefeated Florida State leapfrogs a whole mess of teams to finally join the top 4. For those interested, the difference in network value for Ole Miss and Mississippi State is marginal; Auburn, Florida State, Notre Dame, and Baylor are all about even as well.
