| Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
| 1 |  | California | Cal tied Washington 1-1 in the much anticipated Pac-12 matchup. The big one this week is at UCLA. | 1 |
| 2 |  | Notre Dame | It was another great week for Notre Dame as they beat Indiana 2-0 and Clemson 2-1. | 3 |
| 3 |  | Washington | The Huskies got a quality 3-1 win at Stanford before drawing California on a late goal by defender Taylor Peay. | 4 |
| 4 |  | Creighton | Creighton could not find the back of the net in a loss to Saint Louis, but kept winning in conference play. | 2 |
| 5 |  | Georgetown | Steve Neumann netted three goals as Georgetown beat Seton Hall 8-0. The Providence defense will be tougher. | 6 |
| 6 |  | Cal State Northridge | The Matadors continued their strong play into the first weekend of Big West action. It does get tougher now. | 9 |
| 7 |  | Maryland | Maryland is right in the mix for an ACC title, but with trips to Notre Dame and UVA, this week is huge. | 14 |
| 8 |  | Louisville | Louisville has not allowed a goal since September 15th. They are at five straight shutouts and counting. | 8 |
| 9 |  | North Carolina | If you like ties, North Carolina is your team. They are now 0-0-5 in conference play. Wins would be nice. | 5 |
| 10 |  | UCLA | The Bruins have a big week ahead of them as they host Stanford and California. | 11 |
| 11 |  | UMBC | UMBC's perfection ended at the hands of a very good Delaware squad, but they did win their conference opener. | 10 |
| 12 |  | Akron | Hartwick pulled off a huge upset against Akron on Saturday. The Zips offense is struggling right now. | 7 |
| 13 |  | Wake Forest | The Demon Deacons remained undefeated in ACC play with a 3-0 victory over Virginia Tech. NC State is next. | 12 |
| 14 |  | Saint Louis | It was another mixed week for Saint Louis who beat Creighton before falling 2-1 at VCU. | 15 |
| 15 |  | Coastal Carolina | They may not be dominating the competition as much as some would help, but CCU is 3-0-0 in Big South play. | 19 |
| 16 |  | UAB | Diego Navarrete was involved in every goal during the Blazers 6-2 thumping of Florida Atlantic. | NR |
| 17 |  | Michigan State | Thanks to a 109th minute goal by Adam Montague, the Spartans got a huge overtime win against Northwestern. | NR |
| 18 |  | Northwestern | The Wildcats had outscored their opposition 16-1 during a 7 game winning streak. They have now lost 2 in a row. | 18 |
| 19 |  | Dayton | The Flyers added a couple more wins to their resume, but nobody is impressed with a win over Incarnate Word. | 20 |
| 20 |  | St. John's | The Red Storm have lost three of their last four and the other result was a disappointing draw against DePaul. | 13 |
| 21 |  | Tulsa | With a 2-1 victory at South Carolina, Tulsa got in the win column in conference play. UNM and Charlotte await. | 17 |
| 22 |  | Connecticut | With a faltering and disappointing defense, Connecticut must turn things around quickly. | 16 |
| 23 |  | Elon | Elon improved to 9-1-1 on the season with wins over Campbell and Appalachian State. | NR |
| 24 |  | Furman | The big games for Furman are yet to come. They go to Clemson on 10/15 and host Elon on 10/19. | 21 |
| 25 |  | New Mexico | The record is not very impressive, but the Lobos have played a tough schedule. It doesn't get any easier this week. | 22 |
