My Top 25: Week 6

It has finally happened.  The Broncos of Boise State have ascended to their rightful place as the top team in the nation.  Unless something crazy happens, they will occupy this spot for the foreseeable future.  There were some other big moves in the Top 25 this week as well.  South Carolina's upset of Alabama caused a ripple effect that led to Carolina moving up three spots, Alabama dropping ten spots, and Arkansas, who was victorious this past weekend, dropping three spots.  This shuffle happened because a team shouldn't be ranked behind a team it has beaten head-to-head while the victorious team has a better record or the records of the two teams are the same.  There are a few times when common sense will override this rule, but for the most part I will follow it all season long.  This rule is the same reason Iowa dropped four spots when Arizona dropped nine due to their lost versus Oregon State.  LSU rose nine spots because of their victory at the Swamp.  An undefeated team with LSU's schedule has no business being outside the Top 10, but I cannot get over what I saw at the end of their game with Tennessee.  One more big time win and I will treat them with all the respect their record deserves.  As a final note, I would like to welcome Florida State back into the Top 15.  My Noles appear to have fully recovered from the debacle at Norman and now stand as the frontrunners for the ACC crown.  Here is the Top 25 for Week 6:
