UCLA moved back to the top spot after an impressive weekend in Arlington, Texas. The Bruins beat three ranked SEC teams \u2014 Tennessee, Texas A&M and Mississippi State \u2014 and already have six wins over likely NCAA Tournament teams (they also have a series sweep over TCU). LSU, which fell to No. 2, beat Dartmouth twice and Northeastern once in Baton Rouge over the weekend after losing to McNeese on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Southern Miss was the biggest mover, jumping from No. 15 to No. 10 after sweeping Louisiana Tech (previously 8-1) in Ruston, La. Vanderbilt, which lost three games at the Las Vegas Classic, dropped out. USC, one of three undefeated teams, entered at No. 24.<\/p>\n
