Out are the Wolverines and in are the Washington Huskies at the #4 spot. Ohio State, despite their loss to Penn State back in October, are #2 and Clemson held pat at #3.

Not so this year and with a win in the Iron Bowl last weekend the Crimson Tide roll into the SEC Championship Game against Florida. Should we expect a chaos-inducing Gator upset?
