The second TSF poll sees little movement among the top six. After losing to Clemson, Miami falls eight spots to number 20. Boise State gets little respect here falling two spots as Oregon and Georgia Tech rise to front runners to win their respective conferences. The Hokies gained two spots with the Miami loss and perhaps some reconfiguring on the voters parts.
