• American football: 2007 NCAA Division I FBS rankings
  • The top three positions in both the AP and Coaches Polls remain the same from last week, with USC and LSU 1–2 in both polls, West Virginia holding steady at #3 in the AP Poll, and Florida remaining #3 in the Coaches Poll.
  • After their shocking loss to Appalachian State, Michigan drops from #5 to completely out of the Top 25 in both polls. No team has had a greater drop out of the AP Poll in one week since the AP Poll was expanded to 25 teams in 1989. (AP via ESPN.com) (USA Today)
