- Auburn decimated what was considered to be a pretty good South Carolina defense and made Stephen Garcia turn back into a pumpkin. The Tigers are now the No. 1 team in the country in my opinion whether you go by "eye test" or resume.
- Yeah, I moved Stanford ahead of Wisconsin. I didn't realize how good the Cardinal's defense was until I started looking at it, especially for playing in a league that is usually offense-dominated. Wisconsin put up a lot of points late in the year, but after further review, Stanford was just as dominant coming down the stretch.
- Elsewhere there was some shuffling due to conference title game losses. Even with the win over FSU, I'm not sure I should jump the Hokies over LSU.

I think it’s safe to put VT over LSU at this point. LSU had to pull out several close games and made stupid decisions several times (Les Miles trademarks), including the one against Tennessee. Also, they were nearly beat by UNC when the team was being broken in.
That’s my rationale.
Pirates, Vikings, Hokies. I'm used to heartbreak. At least I have the Penguins....

I probably wouldn't jump VT over LSU either
But I would definitely drop SC below both, if not farther. I’d probably go farther. The SEC East was not hard to win this year. They didn’t have to play LSU or MSU. They did beat Bama (early in the season… Bama’s young defense was still learning the ropes at that point, and it may have been a different story had the game been later in the year). But they lost their other 3 games against the SEC West (Arkansas and Auburn twice). And they lost to Kentucky (LSU has no such bad losses… I don’t want to talk about VT on this point).
