Blue Football Through and Through Top 25

Nearly all Top 25's you saw last week had West Virginia ranked, meaning a shakeup in the rankings.  Blue Through and Through had them properly ranked, and did not need a new team in the Top 25 when West Virginia lost to Oklahoma State.  Nearly all rankings had Georgia behind Alabama--as you can plainly see from Alabama's 38-10 win at Georgia, the Tide is the better team, just as Blue Through and Through had them last week.  Some pollsters and national broadcasters were shocked when Florida beat Mississippi.  We were not, as Blue Through and Through had Florida #14 last week.  The other rankings listed them near the bottom of their Top 25.  As a consequence, you will likely see them still have Mississippi ranked ahead of Florida, despite the 38-10 trouncing. 

The other rankings did have Baylor ranked ahead of where Blue Through and Through had them, but prior to their win over Texas Tech, the Bears' biggest win was over SMU.
