Heading into Week 14 (and the final week except for the Army-Navy Game) we see lots of shifting around in the rankings once you get past those in the top 6 teams—which all remain undefeated. That, at least will change when #1 Florida plays #2 Alabama Oklahoma State (now #22 from #11) and Clemson (now #25 down from #15) fell the most after big upsets last week. Both have a chance to redeem themselves against higher ranked opponents this week. Lots of conference titles on the line this week, too, as well as bowl slots. Should be some good football on store. (The rankings are from the AP/Coaches Poll/CBSSports 120. Those in parentheses are those going into week 13. Team records are those after week 13 play.)

On a side note:
Thus far only Eastern Michigan (0-12) has failed to achieve even one victory in the 2009 season. The Eagles hardly soared as they are ranked 119 out of 120 in the CBSSports120 rankings.
Number 120? That would be Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. The Hilltoppers have one more chance for a "W" as they host the 3-and-8 Arkansas State Red Wolves in their final game of the season on Saturday. As Chris Berman says on ESPN, “Everyone deserves at least one win. No one should go 0-for-the-season.” (I’m paraphrasing there.) Let’s go Hilltoppers!
