When comparing each league's central mean to their respective mean last week, only the ACC & Big East moved up, among the top 8 leagues. The order of the leagues stayed the same however among the top 8.

Looking at the leagues above and below us from last week to this week:

-We closed the gap to #5 league (ACC) from 0.30 to 0.05. Basically a dead heat. (EDIT:) We have 1 more matchup with an ACC team, so that & the limited amount of remaining out of league games will tell the tale. If we continue to beat up on who we should (non-BCS teams), we can finish 5th on the year.

-We increased the Grand Canyon like gap between the Big East and the next league behind us (MWC). The gap grew from 3.92 to 4.56.

We have 1 more BE/ACC tilt. South Florida plays at NC.
