BOTTOM LINE
The clearest confirmed downgrade is Baylor moving from DJ Lagway to Nate Bennett. Oklahoma’s offensive-line update is mixed, Arizona receives meaningful reinforcements, and the most concerning cumulative injury situations belong to Illinois, Washington, BYU, Miami-Ohio, Iowa State, Wisconsin and Syracuse.
UCF receiver Duane Thomas remains one of the most important game-time decisions. Final warmups and official availability reports still matter for every unresolved questionable designation.
