A few notes:

• LSU and Ohio State are separated by a razor's edge. An Ohio State win this week would put them up to #1, and a win over Minnesota would cement them there. Another win over Wisconsin would likely make things very, very close.
• I really can't explain the Florida drop other than realizing I had been giving them way too much credit for the Auburn win and not nearly enough grief for playing 2 FCS teams. 
• As for the lower Group of 5 teams falling out, the longer the season goes, the better the borderline Power 5 resumes look, because the Power 5 teams play better opponents week in and week out. SMU losing also killed Memphis's best win.
