Dropped Out: #10 Cincinnati, #15 Memphis, #20 UNC, #25 Dayton. UC hasn't beat anyone really yet and didn't look good in their first true test, Memphis losses a classic home game against an inferior opponent. Ark St is good but that's a game I would expect them to lose on the road if even. UNC this team confuses me heavily. Dayton looked rough and I had teams jump them. Note the teams I'm considering are about the rest of the SEC teams I didn't rank.
