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.

What if we don't blow out UMASS? Should we still be in the top 20? I think we will, but just throwing it out there.

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.
