There's a new No. 1 team in the SI.com top 25.
After pulling off a 29-21 upset against then No. 1 Carroll (Southlake, Texas), the Northwestern (Miami) Bulls move into the top spot. Northwestern quarterback Jacory Harris led the way with 21-of-28 passing for 208 yards. But that's not the only movement in the rankings this week.
One other top 10 team also lost: Chicago's St. Rita fell victim to rival Mt. Carmel (Chicago), 35-19. Butler (Matthews, N.C.) fell on hard times too, dropping out of the top 25 after its 20-14 setback against unranked West Charlotte (N.C.).
