- North Texas loses just their second game of the season against UTSA.

- Nevada regains their strength in the Mountain West, after losing to New Mexico, by beating Fresno State on the road, who at the time was in first place in the league.
- Winthrop enters the rankings, as they have started 3-0 in Big South play and have one less overall loss than Radford, who is also undefeated in conference play.
