1. Despite the lack of big time losses atop the rankings in week 2, a few things changed a bit. Clemson dropped a bit, which is naturally going to happen anytime all the other good teams avoid the upset bug. But worry not if you're a Tiger fan...my 10,000 simulations returned just shy of 15,000 undefeated power conference seasons and Clemson owned more than 6,000 of them. In other news, Jeff Sagarin appears to have fixed the problem from last week, so Georgia is restored to their previous standing in advance of the big game. Finally, Central Florida destroyed Stanford and reaches roughly as high as a Group of Five team could realistically be at this point, and Boise State's relatively stronger SOS keeps them right behind the Knights.
2. This was a light week for eliminations. We wave goodbye to Georgia State, Troy, New Mexico, Hawaii, and our first power conference team, UCLA. Chip Kelly clearly has a long leash, but also he's realllly going to need it.
3. Florida State is currently rated 37th in the aggregate computer rankings, which infers that they are the second best team in the ACC Coastal. So yeah, Clemson is going to win that division. Texas and Oklahoma State both have about a one in three chance of making the Big 12 title game, so this week's matchup will be revealing. Blogacz favorite Eastern Michigan is riding high off their third straight victory over a Big Ten team and the Eagles now have a 12% chance of making the MAC title game. And the surprisingly good Mountain West is now a bit of a tossup in both divisions.

The game of the year thus far happens Saturday night between the hedges...get excited. The next two games on the list are in different time slots, and the Utah-USC game is on Friday night. So there's a nice wide spread of really good games to look forward to.
