Some thought Washington could leapfrog the Seminoles because it has three top-25 wins after Saturday&#8217;s 35-28 triumph over No. 22 Utah, compared to one for the Seminoles (a Week 1 victory over No. \u00b015 LSU).  But the Huskies remained at No. 5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlorida State, very good offensively, was very good defensively,\u201d Corrigan said.  \u201cDon&#8217;t underestimate the Miami-Florida State rivalry either and it&#8217;s been going on for years. &#8230; We thought Florida State was the dominant team. [in the game]&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>There was no change in the following three spots: Oregon is No. 6, Texas is No. 7 and Alabama is No. 8.  Missouri moved up five spots to No. 9 after a dominant 36-7 victory over the Vols, and Louisville rounded out the top 10. The Cardinals play at Miami on Saturday and a win clinches a spot in the championship game of the ACC against Florida State.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa was the biggest player, moving from No. 22 to No. 16 this week.  The Hawkeyes have no wins in the top 25, the worst statistical offense in college football and yet are 8-2.  A win Saturday against Illinois will clinch the Big Ten West division title and a berth in the conference championship game.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen who plays Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter at this point whether Ohio State or Michigan is higher ranked, since both teams will play in Ann Arbor on November 25.  But before their rivalry game, Ohio State will host Minnesota on Saturday and Michigan will play at Maryland.  For now, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is suspended for both games, but he has an injunction hearing scheduled for Friday to plead his case and get the suspension lifted.<\/p>\n<p>He said at his news conference earlier this week that he planned to speak at the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look forward to this opportunity \u2013 due process,\u201d Harbaugh said.  &#8220;I&#8217;m not looking for special treatment, or a popularity contest, I&#8217;m just looking for the merit of the case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tulane remained the only ranked Group 5 team this week, at No. 24.
