Rankings through games of 2012-10-07
New entries: Michigan, BYU.
Dropped out: TCU, Texas.
Just when you thought that the SEC was losing their grip on the top of the polls, South Carolina thumps Georgia to rise to the #3 spot in the RBA top 25. Likewise, Florida ascends to a five-way tie for #5 with Stanford, Oklahoma, Boise State, and Notre Dame. The SEC will sort itself out, and Oregon is sitting pretty at #2.
In news you probably don't care about, I've reached the depression stage of grief with respect to my Razorbacks. I received no joy from their victory over Auburn because Gene Chizik is a terrible coach that happened to luck into a great coordinator, a transcendant quarterback, and an inexplicable series of breaks.
