USC should gain ground in polls on unimpressive victors Boise & VaTech (over UC-Davis and Duke) but won’t pass them, so Top 7 the same. #8 OU falls to #21-25 range, only ranked 2-loss team. Houston, Georgia, Michigan, Cal gone. Newly ranked: Missouri, Auburn, South Carolina, South Florida. Top “others”: Wisconsin, Stanford, Mich., ND, Utah, Ga.
I might be dropping Georgia too much. Both of their losses are “quality,” and they’re an SEC team. It’s a war, you know. I still think they drop out of the rankings, but maybe the top “others” will be Wisconsin, Georgia, Stanford, Mich., ND, Utah.
