Rank	Team	Reason
1	Alabama Crimson Tide	no change
2	Ohio State Buckeyes	no change
3	Washington Huskies	no change
4	Stanford Cardinal	no change
5	Penn State Nittany Lions	NO change
6	Florida State Seminoles	Francois goes down. I'll look to see how good or bad Blackman is over the next couple weeks before I adjust FSU's ranking too much (two big tests coming up in the next 3 weeks). But all told, this defense is still probably one of the 2-3 best in country, and the team as a whole was only outgained by 19 yards against Bama did a lot to confirm that this is an elite or near-elite team outside of the QB position
7	Oklahoma State Cowboys	no change
8	Auburn Tigers	no change
9	USC Trojans	No change
10	Oklahoma Sooners	No change
11	Louisville Cardinals	no change

16	Michigan Wolverines	No change
17	Miami Hurricanes	No change
18	LSU Tigers	No change
19	WKU Hilltoppers	No change
20	Virginia Tech Hokies	Nice bump here, because it looks like this offense hasn't missed a beat despite the key player turnover.
21	TCU Horned Frogs	No change
22	Mississippi State Bulldogs	No change
23	Georgia Bulldogs	With Florida looking more like a 6-6 team, Georgia moves up as the favorite to win the SEC East. 
24	UCLA Bruins	Looks like Rosen is pretty good still. They'll be a fine placeholder here.
25	Utah Utes	Welcome aboard!
