Dropped Out: Florida (#11), Kentucky (#14), California (#18), Kansas State (#21), UCLA (#24), Rutgers (#25).
If you can make any more sense of this than I can, my hat's off to you. You'll probably note that Florida took a leave of absense from the top 25. Three conference losses in what is turning out to be a questionable conference season for the SEC will do that to you. Kentucky, see above.
Any objections to Purdue, besides they suck? They're 7-2 and going bowling someplace warm. I think they have as good a chance as anyone to run the rest of their schedule and finish an extremely surprising 10-2 before getting pounding a half ass Big XII team in the Alamo Bowl.
As always, your help is appreciated.
