Thoughts
- Florida State has a hammerlock on first place.
- Alabama at #2? The first Big Ten team (Ohio State) at #5? Someone has been reading SB Nation's "How To Make A Top 25" story...
- ESS EEE SEE /wanking motion
- Nebraska at 22? No.
- Florida almost in the Top 25? No.
- Northwestern receiving votes? No.
- Duke earning it's ORV listing by it's play and not b/c of a Spurrier pity vote?
