This is the last version. Just wanted to make sure everybody could see the two changes I made. I moved Florida up to No. 12, now a drop of six instead of nine, because I thought nine was way too far for a team that lost by four to the No. 1 team in the country after LSU mounted a furious comeback.
For a similar reason, I put Texas back up to No. 24 because it seemed unfair to punish them too much for losing a close game to Oklahoma, though I also probably wasn't tough enough on them last week, so a drop of nine still seems fair. This, of course, made it necessary to move Kansas State back up to break even to keep them ahead of Texas, whom they beat by 20 points. Georgia was the victim, slipping to No. 25, down an additional two. But there are a good number of people who dropped the spelling-challenged Dawgs entirely, so I don't feel too bad.
