LSU gets no respect, faith drops in Ohio State after they lose a few key players.

But some of the most noticable rankings are those of Florida and West Virginia. Florida has been slipping the past few years and a poor season has been rewarded with a nice big jump in the rankings. West Virginia on the other hand has always been a type of spoiler team, never getting much respect yet always seeming able to pull a big win out of their ass when they need it. Now they got the attention of the coaches, it will be interesting to see how they do.

Wisconsin is the one I do not quite get. Wisconsin had the worst 2003 out of any team in the top 25, Anthony Davis is perpetually injured, and they lost their best receiver in Lee Evans. Meanwhile, they're ranked higher than Minnesota a team they lost to last year.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
