Miami and BYU were the biggest beneficiaries of the chaos and were joined by Ohio State in a tightly bunched top three.<\/p>\n<p>No. 2\u00a0BYU has its highest ranking since its 1984 national championship season and Notre Dame and Georgia stayed in the top five Sunday after both lost close games.<\/p>\n<p>Every single spot in the Top 25 has a new team this week, but only two teams dropped out of the rankings. A wholesale shakeup of the top 10 did not happen largely because Notre Dame, Georgia and No. 6 Indiana had built-up capital with their 6-0 starts, plus the losses by the Fighting Irish and Hoosiers were against top-10 opponents.<\/p>\n<p>See the full top 25 below.
