Look what I saved for last on the rankings updates. Pretty tricky, right?

Anyway, No. 1 and No. 2 remain the same with Andrew Luck of Stanford and Matt Barkley of Southern California. You probably expected as much. What you'll see different (after the jump) is that Robert Griffin III has catapulted Landry Jones of Oklahoma for spot three. Griffin, at times, has been a sensation while Jones has had his struggles. Brandon Weeden from Oklahoma State was also moved up. If he weren't already 28, he'd probably be at four here.

All day tomorrow I’ll have the new top 100 coming out in a few different chunks. The top 10 is going to look very different than it currently does.
