My rankings got buried pretty quick last week... but thanks to any and all that checked it out before it disappeared in the forum avalanche.
Thoughts after week 11:
- Texas A&M officially over Bama for me now; they've shown it.
- Texas Tech continues to be impressive and I feel comfortable bumping them where I did. Their game vs BYU was the right result and we'll start to see BYU head more toward where they belong in the ranks.
- Bad losses for ACC leaders but again in my opinion the "right result" for UVA now they can stop pretending to be contending.
- We're at the point now that we'll see 3-loss teams in the top 25, Iowa gets the nod this week for their squeaker against Oregon.
- Washington massive disappointment in a bad loss at Wisc. Easily a top 25 team if they just took care of business. A good program with a good coach but this is what can happen when the head man starts looking ahead to the next gig before the job is done. Shame.
Here's my 25:

A bit of an unassuming yet intriguing weekend ahead. A couple ranked matchups, but overall I count 15 of my ranked teams that have a key game or at least are playing a "spicy game" against someone that's shown a bit of zest against other ranked teams this year.
Enjoy these games while we got 'em! And once again, fuck Disney!!! :)
