Dropped Out:
Iowa, Georgia Tech, Oregon, Michigan and Vandy

Welcome:
Minnesota, Iowa State, Penn State, Cal and Wisconsin

Justifications:
Vandy - They are 26th. They were 25th for me. There are other teams with 3 Div I-A wins over BCS opposition now and they added a 4th win over a Div I-AA cupcake.

Big 10 - The arrival of the Big 10 along the bottom of the ballot. I added 3 Big 10 teams to the ballot and dropped 2 out. It feels like I've ranked the entire conference at one time or another this season. I'll have a better feel for how to rank the newbies on my ballot after this week.

Cal - I'm not a believer.

Texas Tech - I'm not a believer based on their performance vs. my mom and her sisters in the first 3 games. I'm a believer because in spite of the schedule I think they are probably a good team. However, based on their schedule the first time that they lose I'm going to pummel them in the rankings.
