so 11 of the top 25 not ranked now..

of those 11-
Georgia is ranked 22nd in the BCS, so I'd count them.
USC #26 in BCS- close enough considering they were 24th
7 are within the BCS top 35...

Also- of the top 10- only #10 Florida isn't BCS top 25 ranked right now. 4 are in the top 8. If you take to the preseason top 14, 6 are in the top 8. 12 of the top 14 are in the BCS top 25 right now. Only Florida/Notre Dame aren't. So really not that bad at all...

Surprisingly good. Florida and TCU are the only flops.

Actually it's a fairly typical success rate.

It took 15 weeks for Ohio Sate to gain just one more vote in the coaches poll.

Ranking via attrition.

Auburn sat at #73 in preseason, they moved up 70 spots.

Looks like everyone had the cocks right.
