    They'll probably hang in the top 25 because of the sheer volume of carnage today. Because a couple of the teams already with one loss lost again (USC and Michigan), and Miami and Missouri have gotten their asses handed to them after barely escaping the week before (meaning the first time wasn't a fluke you can excuse), I think you'll see some big jumps with the teams between 12 and 25 (many of whom will benefit from being off today).
    LSU and Ole Miss will probably get back into the top 10. Clemson might as well. I don't think Alabama or Tennessee's losses were as bad as Notre Dame's, so that's probably the absolute floor for those two, in the 10-12 range.
    Then you have some teams that are playing well who will move up several spots by default — Iowa State, BYU, Boise State and Indiana.
    So maybe in the 20-25 range for Missouri?

    Cal-Miami just got a little more interesting.

    I think 20-25 is too far to fall, but I could believe anything up to 19.

    I think it helps Mizzou with Vandy beating ‘Bama, making the Tigers victory against the ‘Dores more valuable.

    Cal's only loss is at FSU. That game happens to be the Seminoles' only win.

    Football Calvinism. Miami was destined to eat shit to cap off this day.

    He also kicked Auburn's ass at Auburn last season while at NMSU.

    He did. That 17-play drive where they went Sherman’s march on our asses is what he engineered in the second half last year on the Plains (minus the inexplicable two-guys-with-the-same-number fuckup.)

    Is there anybody who's not happy for Vanderbilt?
    I even include Alabama fans in that question.

    Army and Navy haven't both appeared in the AP poll in the same season since 1960.

    I’m sanguine about it. I have two individual friends that deserved this after years of Vandy fandom. But happy is a big lift from this chair.
