NEMindex through Week 8

I should probably quit going to away games.  I flew all the way to Oregon for the Utah at Oregon St game and then we lost.  It became a very depressing trip. The loss dropped the Utes 12 spots to 42nd overall.  We still have a shot at the PAC South division as long as we beat UCLA next week, and don't give up losses to both Stanford and Oregon. 

The top three remain unchanged. Georgia was on a bye, but honestly looks so good I don't know that anyone will catch them.  I doubt Florida will knock them off their pedestal this week.  Iowa climbed back into a playoff spot, while on a bye, thanks to OK St losing to Iowa St.

If you have any questions or comments or feedback or see mistakes of any sort please let me know (@NateEMiller). #GoUtes.
