In the most recent edition of the AP top 25 rankings, some wolf packs made noticeable appearances.

NC State moved into the poll at number 23. It was the first time since 2003 that the Wolfpack appeared in the poll.

Meanwhile, Nevada entered the poll at number 25. The Wolf Pack were in the poll for the first time since 1948.

On Saturday, NC State hosts Virginia Tech, while Nevada will play at in-state rival UNLV.

Georgia freshman linebacker Demetre Baker was dismissed by the program yesterday, following a DUI arrest early Sunday in Athens, Ga.

Coach Mark Richt was generally known to only suspend players for first offenses. However, it seems he may be closing in on a zero-tolerance policy for player arrests.

Richt was quoted as saying, "(Baker) was fully aware of the possible consequences that resulted from this type of decision."

Baker is the 10th Bulldog player to be arrested this year.

Through a prepared statement from the school, Richt says that Georgia will help him in "finding a place to continue his education and football career and hope that he's learned a valuable lesson from this mistake."

A spokesman for the school states that Baker is expected to remain enrolled at Georgia through the fall semester.
