As we get into the heart of the season, it looks like there are 8 teams that have pulled away from the pack.  It will be interesting to see how they continue to fare as the season goes on. 

LSU dropped out of the top 5 this week as they struggled at Auburn.  Also, Florida State jumped West Virginia after beating Clemson.  There were also some minor switching spaces further down as Texas jumped Ohio State. 

Florida and Notre Dame both made their first appearance in the poll at 14^th and 15^th.  

Clemson is the third team to remain in the rankings after losing (Michigan vs Alabama and USC @ Stanford).
