UCLA Drops out of College Football Top 25 to Make Room for Cal, ECU

UCLA dropped out of the AP Top 25 this week. West Virginia was the only major upset, but it was able to just barely stay in the poll at 25th. I guess the pollsters had to make room for Cal and ECU (who both definitely deserve to be in the top 25...Cal WHOOPED Washington State and ECU beat a top 25 opponent for the second straight week.

BYU, after its impressive (and controversial) win over Washington, climbed up to 18 on the AP Poll and 15 in the USA Today Coaches' Poll.
