JP25 Update

The only major development over the weekend was East Carolina's complete domination of West Virginia. East Carolina probably isn't really the 15th best team in the nation, but as of right now they deserve the ranking. They are playing with more passion than anybody right now, and they can beat a lot of people with that aggressive defense and quarterback Patrick Pinkney. West Virginia on the other hand is really struggling. They seem to have chosen to abandon their identity as a smash mouth football team in favor of a ritzy passing attack that clearly doesn't fit the personnel. Just run the ball with Pat White and Noel Devine the way you've done for the last three years and everything would be fine. They barely held on with a #25 ranking, but the Mountaineers are on very thin ice.
