Arizona makes move in polls

The AP and USA Today polls remained pretty much the same near the top.

Nebraska, fresh off a 56-21 thrashing of Washington, moved up two spots to No. 6 in the AP poll and moved up a spot to No. 7 in the USA Today poll.

The real movement happened lower in the rankings.

Arizona, a 34-27 winner over Iowa on Saturday night, went from No. 24 to 14 in the AP poll and moved up two spots to No. 16 in the USA Today poll.

Iowa dropped from No. 9 to No. 18 in the AP poll. The Hawkeyes are also No. 18 in the USA Today poll. Iowa had been No. 10 in that poll.

Meanwhile, Michigan State's stunning 34-31 overtime win over Notre Dame puts the Spartans in both polls. Michigan State is No. 25 in the AP poll and No. 23 in the USA Today poll.
