Dropped Out:
Some notes on revisions:
- Georgia was an oversight and moves from NR to #16. Tennessee moves out and there's some reshuffling towards the end.
- Penn State fans who think I'm crazy have obviously not examined the recent history of their program, in which PSU has a senior-laden team and an excellent year, then drops of a cliff and does something like lose to Akron. Two starters return across both lines, the secondary is entirely new, and Anthony Morelli may indeed be OMG shirtless but perhaps you'll agree that Penn State isn't exactly a slam dunk.
- Ohio State: Jesus, they were #8 and are now #7. That's, what, one or two losses? And don't give me that Pittman stuff. Anyone with two legs and the sense to run in the right direction would have racked up 1300 yards against the motley collection of defenses OSU faced. Albert Young is by far the superior back.
- Nebraska: irrational exuberance for a team that will probably have a crap offensive line. Down five.
