They were ranked #4... I still don't think it warrants a 10 spot drop, while Bama only dropped one spot.
IMHO - it's all relative. We dropped so far because we were then an 0-1 team with our only game on the books being a 13 point loss. Kinda hard to show that kind of team a lot of love, yah? Bama was a then 8-1 team who had beaten 3 top 25 teams and had one loss to #1 by 3 pts. I'd say it kinda sucks, but it's fair. What wouldn't be fair is if we were now an 9-1 team and not in the top 5.
