Notre Dame - #20
Wisconsin (#13), Nebraska (#16), and Arkansas! (#8!) fall out of the top 25.

For all those who worried this team was lost after Alabama, I think we are seeing just how mediocre most of the conference and CFB really is after LSU/Bama/USC/Oregon. I mean, if MSU is #10 in the country and they barely scrapped by a mediocre Boise team, that says quite a bit.

From Week 1 to Week 2, the Pac-12 added two teams to the top 25, and the Big Ten lost 2. One Independent crept into the poll, and the Big 12 lost a team in it. Considerable movement, I would say. The distirbution across conferences is:
SEC - 6 teams
Pac-12 - 5 teams
Big 12 - 5 teams
ACC - 3 teams
BIg Ten - 3 teams
Big East - 1 team
Independents - 2 teams
The Coaches' Poll has an almost identical distribution, with the sole difference being 4 Big Ten teams as opposed to three in the AP, and the absence of BYU in the Coaches' Poll.

Glory. Sweet, sweet glory.
