2019 - NEMindex through Week 11

Even with LSU's big win, Ohio State continues to hold the #1 spot, but the gap to second place has closed considerably.  Penn State only fell a couple spots, mostly because their loss was as close as it was and was on the road and against an undefeated team.  Alabama fell 7 spots and out of the playoff picture and is replaced by Clemson.  My Utes are still knocking on the door along with Oregon, whom they will likely face in the PAC-12 championship; barring any anomalies in the next few weeks.  Utah has UCLA in Salt Lake City next.  No reason they shouldn't be a three possession favorite.

Virginia Tech was the biggest upward mover on the week thanks to their upset win over Wake Forest.  Wake Forest is at Clemson next in what is undoubtedly their biggest game of the year.

I think that will do it for this week. I just got a new dog and want to take her to the park.
