Arizona simply retained its spot at No. 1 after supplanting Michigan last week. But Nebraska moved from No. 6 to No. 2 after the chaotic week. The other unbeaten team, Miami (Ohio), moved up to its highest ranking of the season after its Tuesday win over Central Michigan advanced it to a perfect 18-0 entering the weekend.

In a matchup Monday featuring the nation's No. 1 team and arguably the nation's No. 1 player, the No. 1 team prevailed — barely.

At 21-0, the Wildcats have matched the best start in program history and are one of three remaining undefeated teams.
