Last week was a virtual deadlock near the top of the WBN Top 25 as LSU, Georgia, and FSU were all in a tie for the #3 spot in the country.  All three teams lost this weekend and as a result, we have an unanimous top four teams in the country with Alabama, Oregon, South Carolina, and West Virginia.  Notre Dame jumped five spots to crack the top five.  LSU and FSU fell to #9 and #10 while Georgia plummeted all the way to #15.  Four new teams:  Texas A&M, Cincinnati, Louisiana Tech, and Ohio made the Top 25 this week as Northwestern, Washington, Nebraska, and TCU dropped out. Oregon State was also a big mover, jumping from #17 to #11 and Texas A&M jumped over four other teams to debut at #20.   Here is the complete WBN Top 25:
