I highly doubt Oklahoma, Georgia, or LSU fall behind NIU even with a loss. Michigan or Northwestern losing and maybe NIU jumps up a spot, depending on the final score as both teams are on the road in tough stadiums. I think Washington would still stay above NIU as voters would take into consideration who they are playing. The only one I would almost be certain of NIU jumping would be Texas Tech if they lost. Voters, especially the coaches, will carry a little bias against NIU, and to an extent Fresno St, based on last year.

Guess we will agree to disagree. You are correct about UGa and LSU not falling behind NIU- but that is also what I said in my post. If OU looses to an unranked bad TX team they will fall hard. The only reason they are ranked as high as they currently are is because voters could not get past the OU traditional bias until they rack up a loss. If you think that a 2 loss washington team will stay ahead of NIU you must have them confused with a team that gets the automatic benefit of the doubt like OU or LSU- which they are not.

Here's hoping for some good losses at the middle and top of the polls and a solid Huskie win!

I hope you're right but I just don't put much faith in the voters when it comes to mid-majors. Keep in mind, Northwestern only dropped 3 or 4 spots when losing to Ohio St. Oregon is a better team so even in Washington drops 3-4, that puts them in 19-20 range. Barring a lot of help, I'd be shocked if a win over Akron, even by a wide margin, nets NIU a jump higher than 1-2 spots.

I'd be okay with Mizzou jumping us with a win over Georgia because they are going to lose at least three other SEC games and end up behind us. While a two-loss Georgia squad may stay ahead if us, they still have Auburn, Florida, and Georgia Tech. Lose to one of those, and the Huskies are ahead of them!

Automatic benefit. Uh huh.

Washington is a very good team and they will not fall much (if at all) by losing to Oregon if it's a competitive game. If Oregon beats them 66-20, different story.

There is also zero chance that Georgia or LSU fall behind us this weekend. Zero. You're also ignoring the fact that Mizzou would leapfrog us if they beat UGA. Go Bulldogs. Oklahoma probably wouldn't fall behind us either.
