Adam French

LSU's Saturday night paid off in full, Adam. The Tigers went from 11th to 8th after handling Clemson, worth 57 now instead of 45, and Georgia moved up to No. 2. Your entry gained eight points and still slid from 53rd to 64th, because the rest of the room found a little more. Texas A&M and Washington each gave back six after dropping two spots apiece.

Minnesota drew four votes this week. That is not a ranking, but it is a pulse, and you are the only entry in the league holding the Gophers, who host Mississippi State on Saturday. Iowa against Iowa State is the other one to watch, with the Hawkeyes at No. 21 and only three entries on the Cyclones. Nick French shares four of your teams and sits 16th, eleven points up.
