Very little change in this week’s college football rankings. A few teams were bumped up thanks to LSU’s 13-3 loss to the top ranked Gators and Miami (FL) joined the top 10 thanks to a closer than necessary game between TCU and Air Force.

Given that pretty much everyone at the top won (like they were supposed to) we can take a look at the Tide, who are gaining some momentum with 10 first place votes, one of which was presumably taken away from the Longhorns of Texas. Ohio State also gains back the claim of best in state as they jump over Cincinnati. Actually, that’s not even the least bit exciting, as it has been that way essentially since there have been rankings.

Curiously, LSU plummets from 4 to 10. Eh, maybe not THAT curious, but I don’t know if losing to the top ranked team warrants a drop in the rankings like that. As I’ve said before, it attributes to how seemingly arbitrary the rankings are at times. Yeah, LSU was home, but do they really think anyone that’s now ranked ahead of LSU would do better against the Gators? The Gators could take on some of the piss-poor NFL teams (I’m looking at you, Bills & Browns) and give them a game, let alone the college teams ranked just beneath them.
