My poll this week. Thoughts first:
- Teams 1-3 are clustered close together, then teams 4-6 are clustered close together, and there is a Big drop after No 7 Alabama.
- My spreadsheet doesn't take kindly to late season cupcake games; Florida State, Alabama, Ole Miss all fell despite their wins.
- Welcome Arizona (my wife's alma matter) to my top 25 for the first time this season
- JMU stumbled late to perennial giant slayers App State. Does Liberty have what it takes to go the distance?
- Biggest loser this week was Georgia Southern who dropped 17 ranks after losing to Old Dominion. Biggest winner this week was the aforementioned App State, who rose 16 ranks after topping JMU in overtime.
