The new polls are out and there’s very little (as in virtually none) movement in the top 16. After that, due to the Maryland upset of North Carolina and Boston College’s take down of Florida State, there are several adjustments.
(Poll numbers are those of the teams entering Week 13. The numbers on parentheses after the teams’ names are their rankings after Week 12. Rankings are from the AP Writers’ Poll/the Coaches Poll/CBSSports.com in that order. NR= Not Ranked You will note that when I refer to a team by its rank, I use the Writers’ Poll position.)

3/3/3 Florida (3/3/3) The Gators will host The Citadel. No comment.
