Dropped Out: Pittsburgh (#16), Georgia Tech (#19), Northwestern (#21), Kansas (#22), Boston College (#24).
*The teams that dropped out all lost. Thanks for stopping by BC. Pittsburgh, you let me down as I pegged you to win the league. Thanks.
*Welcome back UNC. Also appearing is a very likable Maryland team, TCU, and Michigan State comes back to the poll.
*South Florida takes a big fall losing to Louisville. LSU and Oklahoma State (I'M A MAN! I'm 40!) only drop slightly for losing to higher ranked teams in close games.
*Florida gets jumped two spots even though they won because they beat an unranked team handily, while Georgia and Texas Tech has much more impressive and good looking wins over tougher opponents.
*Northwestern did drop out of the poll after a suggestion from anonymous. I just skipped over them when looking at the scores i guess. Hello Oregon in the last spot.
*Are there teams I am missing on here?
What do you think?
Northwestern lost to a horrendous Indiana team on Saturday and saw the leaders of their offense fall with significant injuries. How did they move up two spots?
You are right. Missed that one. The poll will be adjusted accordingly.
Proud to say I have peed on Cantor's wall.
Ryan, well done. Although this isn't my "Bye Week Quick Hits" article, I understand what you are saying and love where your head's at.
