My Top 25: Week 7

What a week!  Five teams dropped out of the Top 25 after losing this past weekend.  Florida, Michigan, Oregon State, Nevada, and Air Force all fell.  It was especially hard to see Oregon State go because I have been defending them all year.  However, there loss was very fluky and I think they will be back.  A couple teams also returned to the Top 25 after a couple weeks away.  Texas and Virginia Tech are both back in the rankings after being left for dead due to early season upsets.  Georgia Tech and Kansas State have also returned to the rankings.  And much maligned Mississippi State is premiering in the rankings due to their upset in the Swamp.  There was also some movement at the top of the rankings.  Ohio State and Nebraska both fell out of the Top 10 due to losses.  Wisconsin was the week's biggest climber, jumping ten spots after their big win over the Buckeyes.  The Badgers will continue to rise if they can beat Iowa in Iowa City this weekend.  Michigan State and LSU also made big jumps due to the fact that I am finally buying into these teams.  Michigan State may very well be the class of the Big 10.  They will be able to prove it over the next couple weeks.  And LSU's stay in the Top 10 may be only one week as they visit Cam Newton and the Auburn Tigers this weekend.  We will have to see what Les Miles has up his sleeve this time.  Here is this week's Top 25:
