Arizona State secured a spot on the AP Poll for the first time since 2015, parlaying a momentous victory over Michigan State late Saturday night into the No. 23 ranking Sunday afternoon.
The Sun Devils were the big winners of the updated rankings, while Oklahoma State also entered the list at No. 24 after failing to earn a spot the previous week.
The Spartans suffered the greatest tumble, dropping 10 spots to No. 25 after falling on the road in Tempe.
The top four teams held steady from Week 1, though the top five received a minor shuffle as Oklahoma hopped ahead of Wisconsin.
