Dropped Out: Oregon (#15), Wisconsin (#17), Fresno State (#19).
* Goodbye Oregon, Wisconsin, and Fresno State. You lost, so you’re out. While other teams lost and still remain on the poll, I just think they are better teams than those three.
* New to the poll is UNC (after a nother nice win), Michigan State (after another solid performance), and Pittsburgh (after beating a ranked USF).
* I was so correct about UConn it is not even funny. As I predicted to Nunes, UNC beat them, and so I would take them out if I included them, but I didn't. Suck it Connecticut.
*Vandy springs up after playing a great football game. Good for them. Seriously!
* USF you let me down. You drop ten spots, but stay modestly placed at #21. Similarly, Auburn drops six spots.
* Missou springs up a spot to take the four spot. Unlike last week when I definitely thought that Oklahoma, LSU, and ‘Bama were in those three spots in that order, I think a good argument can be made for Alabama being #2. However, I left it alone this week because there was not enough evidence to reverse the call.
*Penn State jumps another two spots after another fairly impressive victory.

Nice to see we aren't the only ones in the Big East that like adult beverages.A couple weeks ago Orange::44 regaled you with the tale of several Notre Dame students being arrested for underage drinking at a big party after an away football game. Several of the kids arrested were members of some Notre Dame athletic team, including two on the football team. Well TheSmokingGun.com did their due diligence and tracked down the mug shots of these students for our enjoyment. Take a look here. Yeatmen I believe is on the second page on the bottom right. Enjoy.
Editor’s Note: A lot of good moments at my internship this summer involved looking at hilarious mug shots. It can be a real treat.

The most wanted man in Syracuse. Not for a job, just to prove he's around.The people at Syracuse.com cannot seem to get enough of this Lloyd Carr business. I missed it yesterday, but they posted an article that drew attention to the Daily Orange article Brent Axe and I were interviewed in. It also opens up the door for Lane Kiffin speculation (which is very inappropriate and only reserved for main stream media types). Two points about the post. It seems like I have officially been recognized for breaking the Lloyd Carr story, which I still find unbelievable and hilarious. Second, the comments people left on the article is absolutely priceless. Enjoy mulling over all that. I think it is funny that I have basically moved on from the entire Lloyd Carr thing for now, but Syracuse.com cannot seem to let this stuff go yet.
Was Lloyd Carr on Campus? You tell us you're the Reporter.

Also, Donny Webb finally did a reporter like thing and called Lloyd Carr's office (why he has one no one seems to know). No return phone call. SU Spokesman Kevin Quinn did say that Carr and Gross have not spoken though. I submit that via Donny's own reporting, he showed that Gross was out of town when I reported that Carr was on campus. So does that even prove anything? The correct question to respond to was if he was on campus. I'm totally ready to move on, but let's at least get the issues correct before doing so.

Lloyd Carr has now joined the likes of Carmen Sandiego and Bigfoot.Yesterday I spoke with Daily Orange columnist Zach Schonbrun about the posting of my article reporting that Lloyd Carr was on campus. It was the buzz of the internets all weekend around both Syracuse and Michigan blogs. I’ll be the first to admit I did not see this kind of reaction coming. Schonbrun also talked with Brent Axe to get his take on the whole situation as he reported it on his radio show the same day as well. Was Lloyd Carr actually on campus? At this point I guess we may never really know, but I still stand by my reporting, even if it is just this one time. The full Daily Orange article is right here. Skip the video unless you want a tour of the Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion. Judge for yourself.

Remember when you were unhappy with this? You didn't know unhappy.It’s Tuesday, which means it is again time for Sean from Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician to ask me questions and my turn to answer them. Today, I talk about the Pittsburgh v. Syracuse game and the fallout therein, the entire Lloyd Carr situation, a little basketball news, and those pesky UConn Huskies. Check out the article right here.

Dropped Out: East Carolina (#16), Clemson (#18), TCU (#25).
*East Carolina, Clemson, and TCU drop out after their losses. Wake Forrest fell quite a bit but I feel like they still belong on the poll.
*Connecticut is still not being included despite being 5-0. Beat someone impressive and you'll be put on. Maybe.
*New to my poll is Boise State, Oklahoma State, and Virginia Tech.
*Illinois actually jumps two spots in my poll despite losing to Penn State simply because I believe they are better than the teams below them, as well as playing the far superior Penn State in a very good game.
*I don't think anyone can dispute that Oklahoma, LSU, and Alabama belong in the top three in that order.
*Not so much related to the poll, but if USC wins out and plays in the National Championship, there is something seriously wrong with the process.
*While Penn State was impressive in their game, until BYU loses to someone, they will remain ahead of them.
