NCAA 2014 Week 13 results and Top 25

We haven't reached our quota of upsets and surprising results yet!  It started Thursday, as Duke was demolished by North Carolina.  That knocked Duke from the Top 25.  Miami lost their chance at the Top 25 by losing to Virginia.  Ole Miss was shut out by Arkansas, who registered their second consecutive shutout.  Finally, UCLA dominated USC, knocking the Trojans from the Top 25.

Top 25 [Last week's position]
1.  ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE (10-1) [1]
2.  Florida State Seminoles (11-0) [2] : Another close game, but this time they led at the half.  Did not pull away from Boston College in the second half, though, so the magic may be gone.
3.  Mississippi State Bulldogs (10-1) [5] : Demolished Vandy in a huge shutout
4.  Baylor Bears (9-1) [4] : Strong offensive showing, but the Cowboys got in their licks
5.  Ohio State Buckeyes (10-1) [3] : Struggled badly in the first half against pitiful Indiana
6.  TCU Horned Frogs (9-1) [6]
7.  Oregon Ducks (10-1) [10] : Strong win, combined with weak performances above them, advance the Ducks to Top 5 range
8.  Georgia Bulldogs (9-2) [7]
9.  Wisconsin Badgers (9-2) [8] : Let Iowa back into the game in the fourth quarter
10. Michigan State Spartans (9-2) [11]
11. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-2) [14] : Sometimes it pays to take a week off
12. Arizona Wildcats (9-2) [21] : Most impressive win of the season
13. Marshall Thundering Herd (11-0) [12] : Nearly fell from the ranks of the unbeatens
14. Oklahoma Sooners (8-3) [15] : Kansas didn't give Oklahoma any problems
15. Ole Miss Rebels (8-3) [9] : Huge loss for the Rebs
