Discussion:
- Befitting a week without a lot of notable games, there isn’t a lot of movement in this week’s ballot. The only big losers are two teams that won their games in Saturday. Nebraska doesn’t move down because I think they’re bad, but rather because I felt other teams were worthy of being ranked above them. Georgia moves down because . . . uhh . . . firstly, Colorado, and secondly, hello, Two-Headed Quarterbeast.
- The Michigan/WVU flip-flop is largely due to performance against opponents different quality. ECU obviously came to play against the ‘Eers, while Michigan shut down a Wisconsin team that has looked pretty OK so far this season. However, I’m not yet sure that Michigan can beat Ohio State.
- Rutgers doesn’t move because, as someone pointed out to me, they have yet to beat a team with a I-A victory.
- Big winner this week: Clemson, pretty much just because.
- Games I watched: Iowa/Illinois, Wisconsin/Michigan, Minnesota/Purdue, Arkansas/Alabama, Notre Dame/Michigan State.
