NCAA Football Rankings - 24 Nov

A ton of ranked teams went down yesterday, with several notable ones in the SEC, all against teams with losing records, and 2 more undefeated teams fell after playing their first tough opponents of the season, leaving Oregon alone unblemished on the season. Indiana's loss dropped them from the top 10, giving South Carolina a chance to move back up, and Boise State tumbled 5 spots after barely surviving against Wyoming. Here are my full current rankings:
