Matt collins

Matt, the quiet edge is starting to show, Alabama up to No. 12 with FPI still rating the Tide 9th, and Virginia walked into the poll at No. 25, Notre Dame moved to No. 3 and Houston to 22nd. Sixteen points of good news, and Michigan erased it all by falling out of the Top 25, 30 gone. The entry is 219th at 187. Derek Urbach, six teams in common, is 186th, six up.

Clemson lost in Baton Rouge with no votes to show, and 145 entries are waiting together. Florida holds 83. Michigan hosts No. 11 Oklahoma on Saturday with 69 votes in hand and nine entries on the Sooners, and a win likely puts the Wolverines back where they were. Alabama goes to Kentucky.
