There’s a lot of change, but not too much. A bucketful of top teams lost, so while there are varying degrees of free-fall involved, most of them stayed in the poll. Not so fast, Boston College. Texas A&M, the yo-yo of the bottom five, takes their place after beating the Longhorns in Austin. My days have been so backwards, I don’t remember which parts of what games I caught over the weekend, though I know Georgia-Georgia Tech was in there, and parts of FSU-UF. Mercifully, Bowling Green’s season has ended. Here’s to that not happening again for eleventy-billion years.
