With Ohio States solid win over Penn State they move into the top spot. I didn't see all of that game but what I did see was pretty impressive. LSU had a bye week but because of tOSU's win they drop to #2. It will be interesting to see how they do against Nick Saban and Alabama this weekend. Boston College drops to #6 with their less than impressive performance against VA Tech, I realize that Matt Ryan was impressive in the last five minutes of this game but the overall performance shows me what could be ahead.
ASU moves to #3 after a very impressive win against Cal, whose wheels have completely fallen off, to take control of the Pac-10. ASU has their showdown against Oregon who moves up 2 spots after their very impressive win against USC. Dennis Dixon has put himself in contention for the Heisman and whoever wins on Saturday has a shot for the MNC. Personally, I need to pull for Oregon because when we beat ASU with Oregon hopefully going to the MNC, USC could end up in the Fiesta Bowl. Yes it's a long shot but anything is possible.
Kansas hangs in at #5 simply because I think the teams ahead of them have a better body of work. Big mover in my poll are Georgia with a dominant win over Florida and UConn as they continue to lead the Big East though WVU is still a more complete team. Tennessee also gets a big jump with their win over South Carolina, that was an exciting game! Michigan has also made some movement with their win over Minnesota.
Then there is USC. I almost dropped them out of my poll completely but the loss to Oregon was clearly against a better team that is highly ranked with a great offense. The USC defense played a decent game for the most part though there were some plays that left me scratching my head, which I have talked about ad nausea.
