4	Ohio State Buckeyes
5	Texas Longhorns
6	Miami Hurricanes
7	BYU Cougars
8	Indiana Hoosiers
9	Iowa State Cyclones
10	Tennessee Volunteers	The Bama win keeps the Vols just a bit higher...
11	Texas A&M Aggies	...but the Aggies are not too far away either...
12	Clemson Tigers
13	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	I feel like Notre Dame has a better win than Clemson...but then again, they have the worse loss as well...
14	Boise State Broncos
15	Alabama Crimson Tide
16	Kansas State Wildcats
17	LSU Tigers
18	Ole Miss Rebels
19	Pittsburgh Panthers	Who will win the neo-ACC? I hope that it's one of either Pitt or SMU...
20	SMU Mustangs	Maybe should've dropped after nearly losing? Oh well...at least they stayed put...
21	Army West Point
22	Washington State Cougars
23	Illinois Fighting Illini
24	Missouri Tigers	It's...hard to ignore the specific H2H result here...
25	Vanderbilt Commodores	...of course, it's a H2H that can (and probably will) be disregarded soon...
