Hawai’i dropped a spot to No. 4, Grand Canyon stayed No. 5, and Stanford, which beat Penn State and Ball State in Austin, moved up two spots to No. 6. UC Irvine fell a spot to No. 7, while BYU moved up a notch to No. 8.

Penn State dropped two spots to No. 9 and Pepperdine stayed No. 10. No one dropped out.
