Week two brought about a bunch of movement while week three adds some sense of stability on my ballot. There is absolutely no movement at all in the Top 9 but after a narrow escape at East Carolina the Virginia Tech Hokies drop down to number 13 while Oklahoma State, who looked much improved from week one, jump back into my Top 10.
