The latest coaches polls are out with Utah plummeting from 5th to 15th and TCU jumping Boise State for the third spot by a mere 10 points. TCU is only 49 points behind second ranked Auburn, so the difference is not that much. San Diego State is yet again not in the poll. Instead the three newcomers are Central Florida, Florida and Texas A&M. Both Florida and Texas A&M have three loses and while Texas A&M looks much, much, much better with Ryan Tannehill at the quarterback spot over human turnover machine Jerrod Johnson, they are not a top 15 team.
Florida happened to beat up on a bad Vanderbilt team 55-14, so at least the Gator their opponent. Central Florida does have a few impressive wins by beating East Carolina and Houston, I guess Houston is not an overly impressive win but their offense is always good. Nevada moved up a few spots to 21 from 23 after taking care of business against Idaho.
The AP poll still has Boise State second and TCU fourth and who the hell voted for Delaware.
