NEMindex through Week 9

Ohio State and Tennessee both had significant wins that moved them up in the top four and result in them being virtually tied for 2nd and only a hairs breadth behind UGA at the top. TCU stayed in the top 4 but slid one, given that their win was less significant. 

My Utes stayed at 14th after the close win over Washington State. Makes sense that they didn't move up given how close it was.  Without our starting QB, RB, and TE we're honestly a bit lucky to have come away with the win at all. We have Arizona at home next, a likely win, and likely to not help us in the rankings even if we blow them out.
