OK, I misattributed that, but Jeez Louise, how far will the Seminoles fall in the rankings after today's spanking?

It's way too early in the season for that to a meaningful pass and they haven't faced an opponent like Michigan but neither has Michigan (Hawaii is one of the worst teams last 2 ). However, this defense is playing well. Still a lot of time left and Michigan is loaded with talent.
