Notes:
There is a surprisingly big drop-off from 14 to 15, then 15 to the remainder. The polls stay fairly unison through those first 15 or so, but after that the opinions are so varied with little proof of quality so far.
South Carolina was the only real drop and the team they lost to, Texas A&M;, rocketed up the standings.
LSU did beat Wisconsin, but neither team saw their stock change too much as it was close and the season has only just started.
