Obviously, the big upward movers were Florida, which moved to No. 1 in plenty of other ballots besides mine; Louisiana Tech; Texas A&M; and Iowa State. South Carolina and West Virginia also benefited from big wins.

Florida State and Georgia each took a predictable tumble, although neither fell as far as I think they should.

The national consensus seems to be Texas is No. 15. That has been the Longhorns' spot in every poll I've seen.

Don't really have a lot else to add this week. The next two weeks will continue to clear things up for all of us.

P.S. I wasn't even in the top five in swing this week. There are some crazy whack ballots out there, yo.
