In ranking, when there is a tie, you omit the next number and rank the two entries with the same number.

 

[Iceman]

Oh I didn't even notice that there were two 23's.

 

[Archaix]

Jeebus, I thought the big ten sucked(seriously)...6 teams in the top 25??

 

[Iceman]

Cal, Florida and Wisconsin may be the biggest surprises on that list (all my favorite teams btw)... all because each of them beat so many high profile teams last year I bet. Cal beat USC, Florida beat LSU, Wisconsin beat Ohio State.

sweet.

 

[AstroLad]

It's crazy because Cal actually has big expectations this year, unlike last year when they shocked everyone. We'll see if they can live up, they definitely have a great coach.
