Rankings through games of 2012-10-14
New entries: TCU.
Dropped out: West Virginia.
I'm running a little behind schedule here at TFG due to illness.
It's a bit harsh for Stanford to drop to #13 after falling to Notre Dame in overtime, especially since I'm still unconvinced Stephan Taylor was stopped on 4th down and goal. However, their offensive performance has been steadily slipping without Andrew Luck at quarterback. Unsurprisingly, West Virginia dropped out of the top 25 after their lack of defense finally caught up with them. Rutgers is slowly moving up the polls thanks to a strong defensive effort.
