This week's USA TODAY Sports 1-128 Re-rank isn't dramatically different inside the top 25, which bids farewell to just two teams, Temple and Utah, while welcoming in Northwestern and Stanford.

Not to say the top 25 hasn't undergone a shakeup. Mississippi makes a big climb after winning at Alabama. Notre Dame and LSU take similar leaps after topping Georgia Tech and Auburn, respectively.

The Yellow Jackets, Crimson Tide and Southern California are among the fallers, with the Trojans barely hanging in the top 25 after a 41-31 loss to Stanford.
