I got Cal in, which was an honest oversight in the first poll.

A little bit of movement here and there. I bumped Ohio State up a couple of slots and moved Nevada higher. If you think the Wolfpack could go undefeated -- as I do -- you really can't justify putting them lower.
21. Nebraska
22. Oregon State
23. Boise State
24. Florida State
25. Notre Dame
The Irish barely hold on. And Year2 is right -- you have to have Boise State in there somewhere. Even if they lose to Nevada, they'll end up in the Top 25. A few other teams fell out.
