Dropped Out: North Carolina (#18), Wake Forest (#20), Vanderbilt (#24).


Relatively easy week, because most of the top teams did not lose. Its the week where an undefeated team is automatically in, so welcome aboard, Tulsa. Bad week to have two losses in my poll.

  • UNC is out because Virginia is a bad loss and they have no quality wins.
  • Wake Forest is out because they have two bad losses and so does Cal, but I think Cal's win over MSU is ever so slightly better than Wake's win over Florida State.
  • Va Tech is in, too, barely, but they have a decent win over UNC and a loss to a (now) ranked team in BC.
  • Vanderbilt is out because of their lack of quality wins and their second loss.
  • Missouri, of course, stays in. Most teams would have lost to the two top 10 teams they lost to.
  • I kept Kansas in, despite the absence of a quality win because both of their losses were to good teams and they are leading a division in the country's toughest conference.

So, that's what I think. Fire away.
