Dropped Out: Utah (#16), West Virginia (#18), Arizona (#19), Auburn (#25).
Yay!
Why the love for Oregon? Their losses aren’t bad, but are they so much better that as a two loss team, they deserve to be over the one loss teams? Just wondering.
GT drops after a blowout?
OSU is better than Oregon or so we will see in the Rose Bowl.
@fa – brain-fart on the Oregon ranking. I think I mentally had them around 11 and GT higher (as SYR mentions).
@SYR – noted. I didn’t mean to drop GT like that. And yes, OSU is better than Oregon. We will see it in the Rose Bowl.
Yay, TCU above Boise. Knew you’d see the light. LOL.
IMO, in all fairness I think GT would give OSU fits… I’d hafta put them above OSU. Depending on how fair you want to be, Pitt could be higher than OSU too.
sM – GT has been romping and running over the hapless ACC. Most defenses there fold under a stiff wind. I think OSU would hang with them. But they only have one loss, so they move up.
Pitt almost lost to Notre Dame. I know close only counts in horseshoes and midget tossing, but it must not be ignored. They have not beat a ranked team (although Rutgers is ranked in our poll) and they lost to a relatively sorry NC State team.
Playoffs.
