Collin Smith

Collin, the climb started in Baton Rouge, and in your entry's favor: LSU beat Clemson and went from 11th to 8th, twelve points. Penn State's jump to 16th added eight, Virginia got into the poll at No. 25, Notre Dame moved to No. 3, and Oklahoma's slip to 11th was the only leak. Twenty-five points, 214, and 150 places, to 73rd.

Memphis is 2-0 with 23 votes and visits Boise State on Saturday, where 126 entries need the Broncos and you, holding neither Boise nor Clemson, need the Tigers. Oklahoma goes to Michigan the same day, a nine-entry pick against a 69-entry team that just fell out of the poll and wants back in. Louisville lost and kept 24th; Friday against Villanova needs to be clean.
