SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "

The big change is that I moved Michigan down a couple more spots. I know they got boatraced by Alabama, but I think everyone outside of the top 10 would get boatraced by Alabama, so I didn't want to punish Michigan so badly that they fell out of the top 25. Still, it was a high-level BEATEMDOWN and I acknowledge this fact.

I made one other change because I didn't get to see the Washington-San Diego State game, and the Huskies' win was less impressive upon further review. So I moved Stanford back in at #25, who hopefully got all those hiccups out of their system against San Jose State. I couldn't think of anyone else I wanted to move into the poll except for maybe Baylor.

Thanks to you all for your feedback. We'll do this again next week.
