RALEIGH, N.C. --- It's about time to head to the airport.
Before I do, here's this week's Harris poll ballot (just submitted) plus five more teams worth keeping an eye on.
Not a lot of time to elaborate now, but check back later in the day. I'll have a full schedule breakdown of the six remaining unbeatens (Alabama, Boise State, Cincinnati, Florida, Texas and Texas Christian) in an attempt to sort out who belongs where at this stage.
Not that it'll matter that much anyway.
Remember, as always, that record, regulation record, last week's rank and notable wins and losses are included. Each week is its own separate deal, and the rankings start from scratch each week.
