Michigan at Iowa
Oregon at UCLA
GaTech at Florida St.

other random thoughts

-LSU once again squeaked by in a game they should've lost.  I'd say they don't deserve to be the #4 team in the country, but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good -- now the big question: will they luck out and face a Tebow-less Florida next week (yes, if Urban Meyer has a heart)


-Will Oregon's victory over Cal mean any less to the voters now that Cal's been exposed?  My guess is that it won't.  Update: Looks like I was right -- Oregon inexplicably jumped over Penn St. and Oklahoma St. this week.

-Teams of which I'm skeptical: LSU, Boise St., Oregon, Kansas, BYU, Missouri

-Teams I expect to rise: USC, Oklahoma, Notre Dame

-Update: I'm not really surprised that Auburn shot up in the rankings (I did have them jumping three teams), but I don't understand why a win against 2-3 Tennessee is so meaningful.
