| 7 |  | Maryland | With a nice road win at Syracuse, Maryland is within striking distance of an ACC title. | 8 |
| 8 |  | Louisville | Louisville is sitting on top of the AAC with a 5-1-1 record and finishes up the regular season against South Florida. | 4 |
| 9 |  | Coastal Carolina | Coastal Carolina has won 11 games in a row. A trip to Elon may put an end to their impressive run. | 11 |

| 11 |  | Cal State Northridge | The Matadors suffered their second conference loss at the hands of UC Irvine. The Big West South race got closer. | 9 |

| 20 |  | Creighton | Creighton's slide appeared to come to an end with a win at Butler, but they lost on Saturday to Seton Hall. | 17 |
| 21 |  | VCU | VCU made easy work of La Salle, a team who is making some noise in A-10 play. They then lost to St. Joe's. | 19 |
| 22 |  | Saint Louis | The Billikens will have their work cut out for them in Louisville on Halloween night, but it's a big opportunity. | 20 |

| 24 |  | Marquette | Marquette's 0-0 draw at St. John's and 1-0 loss to Georgetown are not horrible results. They can still win the BE. | 22 |
| 25 |  | Michigan State | Following a decent 0-0 at Akron, Michigan State fell to a scrappy Wisconsin team on an unfortunate own goal. | 23 |
