Within the first few weeks, change is inevitable. Someone is going to shock all the sports pundits with a huge win, while other teams will surprise these same people in a bad way. Remember when Arkansas went from #8 to unranked in the span of a week in early September?
Who will be the latest victim of failing to live up to the standards set for them?

2014 Week 2 College Football Rankings: On 0-1 Teams
Teams with a losing record should be lucky to be ranked at all (in real life, not by me, since my vote doesn’t count), but generally speaking, they can get a pass for the first week.
If you start 0-2 or as a weak 1-1, no matter how big the preseason hype was, you don’t deserve that little number next to your name. So, consider this a warning, Wisconsin and especially South Carolina.
