The Associated Press' Week Two top 25 poll has been released, and it's got some great news for fans of BCS busters.
Though Alabama still claims the top spot, with Ohio State second, Boise State and TCU slot into the third and fourth positions, with the Broncos just 13 points behind the Buckeyes. TCU made the biggest leap in the poll, vaulting from tenth to fourth after a win over Oregon State.
The big losers of the first weekend among college football's elite are Florida and Oklahoma. Unimpressive wins didn't endear either school to the votes, and Florida dropped from fourth to eighth, while Oklahoma fell from seventh to tenth.
