[BamaDude]

1. New Mexico St. (0-3) jumped two spots to the bottom of the dumpster.
2. UTSA (0-2) another two-spot mover.
3. UTEP (0-2) still a bad team, but two spots better this week.
4. San Jose St. (0-2) down from #7.
5. Central Michigan (0-2) moves into the rankings after being crushed by Kansas.
6. North Carolina (0-2) makes their debut after being walloped by East Carolina.
7. Old Dominion (0-2) moved up from #2 after a close loss to FIU.
8. SMU (0-2) gets in after a crushing defeat to TCU.
9. UConn (0-2) debuts following a 62-7 loss at Boise St.
10. Pittsburgh (1-1) had to make the list after an embarrassing 51-6 loss to Penn St.
11. Wyoming (1-2) the Cowboys only win was over #1 New Mexico St.

Dropped out: #5 Troy (1-1), #6 Kansas (1-1), #8 Texas St. (1-1), #9 East Carolina (1-1), #10 MTSU (1-1), #11 UCLA (0-2). All the drop outs except UCLA won this past week. There were other teams that looked worse than the Bruins.

UConn should be at the bottom of the barrel. Honestly they should just disband football.

Is Nebraska #12? or Iowa State?

Those two are safe for the moment.

Kinda harsh on NIU. Losses to 2 fringe top 25 teams in both games for a half or more. After Troy beats Nebraska this week we will have a new number 1

Troy got off to a slow start. Refilling some key spots. They are going to be better than the 56-20 loss to BSU would indicate. I don't think they beat Nebraska, but I think they will continue to improve and probably end up in the top few teams in the Sun Belt by the end of the year. Huge gap in talent between Troy and UCONN.

For some reason, SU has them on the scedule next week. I'm calling it a buy week leading up to the week 5 game in death valley.
