JP25 Update

After a first week that held very few surprises, the new JP top 25 remains close to the preseason version. Clemson suffered a big defeat at the hands of Alabama and that made for the biggest difference with Clemson dropping nine slots and Bama clawing their way into the poll all the way up to number 12. UCLA jumped in with their Monday night overtime win over Tennessee, and USC made a jump at the top of the poll thanks to Matt Sanchez. Sanchez proved that after a two-year absence, the Trojan offense will again be up to the high standards set by the defense. The ACC suffered a difficult week as Boston College and Virginia Tech were the only teams to fall out of the JP25. Do you think Frank Beamer is rethinking that decision to redshirt Tyrod Taylor yet?
