Dropped Out: Wake Forest (#17), Illinois (#19), Clemson (#20), Colorado (#21), Nebraska (#23), East Carolina (#24).
Yes, I jumped Alabama up to #1. They completely destroyed a Georgia team most people had as the #1 team in the country when this season began. And they did it on the road.
Penn State jumps up to #5 on my poll. I think I'm clear from the CK Award. I really don't want to flirt with that, but I think we're a legitimate top five team now.
Am I missing anything terribly obvious?
