Other random thoughts
-I'm confident that the top four teams are legitimately top 10 teams, I'm somewhat convinced that TCU belongs, but past that I'm really not sure. I'm not buying GA Tech, (who had another close win over a mediocre team) Boise St., (who had another close win over a below average team) or Pitt (who's schedule strength has been less than impressive) as legitimate top 10 teams at this point in time. And USC, Oregon, Ohio St., and Iowa seem to alternate between impressive and unimpressive victories on a weekly basis.
-It's hard to believe that Oregon will only drop one spot in the rankings after losing to Stanford, but they can't drop below USC, who can't drop below Ohio St. And how many teams can jump all three?
update: Apparently they can. Oregon trounced USC, who beat Ohio St. on the road. All three have identical records and pretty similar wins/losses outside of those games. But Ohio St. is #8, USC is #10, and Oregon is #16. Huh?
