With seven top-25 teams on byes, and Tennessee essentially on one cause they couldn't get marbles anyway, a lot of the top end of the table didn't move by much. The most consequential game of the week (marblewise) was Ole Miss losing to LSU. That gives them their first loss of the season and dropped them out of the top 10 down to 15th.
TCU holds on to the top spot with another commanding win over a ranked opponent. The top four is the same four teams, but reshuffled because of Tennessee and Michigan's byes.
Big games next week: Kentucky at Tennessee (121 vs 47 marble gain potential), Ohio St at Penn St (82 vs 81), Oklahoma St at Kansas St (67 vs 67).
