Fan Pulse: Week 13

Before the season, we kindly asked you to participate in SB Nation’s FanPulse weekly rankings. This is basically a poll voted on by you, the fans, instead of stuffy old sportswriters, which allows for more insight into how the common fan feels about the current season.

Confidence is up a tick after the beat down of Arkansas, going from 94.6% to 97.4%.
