TAE Top 25 after Week 12 (revamped)

Post by The Ancient Enemy »

I have decided that since it was my own fault that Auburn is ranked so low in my picks, it's okay for me to reshuffle a little bit. See, the people ahead of them kept winning, and Auburn was added even after Cal and Texas lost. So they kind of got the screwjob. This is why rankings shouldn't come out until the third or fourth week of the season. Will that stop me next season? Of course not. haha

Rules:
- You win, you move up
- You lose, you drop 10 spots guaranteed. If you are ranked 16th, I generally give you the benefit of the doubt, as long as #15 won.
