There's a little more stability on my ballot this week but not a whole lot. Each week it becomes more and more clear that in the world of college football there's Alabama and then everyone else. My Top Seven pretty much remained unchanged with the exception being West Virginia swapping places with LSU. I know the Mountaineers struggled defensively but at this point, I'll take their offense over anyone in the nation.
