Well, after 8 weeks we have a Top 25 that may look disjointed, but shows the true players in this season's Title chase.
- Ohio State remains at #1
- Boston College becomes the new #2 after USF's loss to Rutgers
- Due to that loss, USF drops from #2 to #11
- LSU rises to #3 after a squeaker vs. Auburn
- Oklahoma stays at #4 after an unimpressive win vs. a bad Iowa State team
- Oregon waddles up to #5 after beating down the Huskies
- West Virginia feels a bit redeemed after USF's loss and jumps to #6
- Arizona State, the unseen undefeated team in football, jumps to #7
- And, ASU added an Elway this bye weekend
- VaTech rises to #8 before their huge ACC matchup vs. BC on Thursday
- USC and Florida are tied at #9, after USC blanks ND and UF survives Kentucky
Other observations on the Top 25:
- Biggest Loser - USF (from 2 to 11) and South Carolina (from 6 to 15)
- Biggest Gainer - Michigan (from 24 to 19) and Florida (from 14 to 9)
- Four additions to the Top 25 - Rutgers, Penn State, Alabama and Virginia
