Dropped Out: Texas Tech (#16), Florida State (#17), Pittsburgh (#24), Miami (Florida) (#25).
DISCUSSION:
- Hurray, we don’t have to pretend Miami and Florida State are good any more.
- Alabama’s big drop is to bring my rating more in tune with everyone else; I realize now they haven’t been dreadfully impressive thus far and still haven’t beaten anybody.
- Now there can be no doubt; tOSU = #1. But I’ve been trying to warn you about Carrthulhu.
- Not only am I on board the Brian Kelly Greatness Express, I’m on the Rutgers bandwagon. Too bad they’re in such a tough conference. Wait a minute, did I just say that about the Big East?
- At first I had Clemson #24 and BC #25. Then I realized it should not be that way.
- Chuck Amato: DOOMED, especially after Akron got run over by the Brian Kelly Greatness Express.
- Shakiest 3-0 teams in the land: Wisconsin, Houston, Purdue, Texas A&M.

It’s good to see that you didn’t drop LSU and that Oklahoma actually moved UP after a ‘loss’. While I’m on the subject - I was at the OU @ UofO game and the officiating was bad from start to finish. Had the outcome been reversed, the Ducks would have been complaining to the league office and the official would still be suspended. I pity the BCS team that faces TCU (assuming TCU makes it). TCU has nothing to lose and their major conference opponent will be a big favorite. TCU could beat almost anyone.

It would’ve been hard to drop either LSU or Auburn based on that game; ditto OU/uO. I didn’t see the OU game, and I’ve been busy at work so I still haven’t seen the controversial call. TCU has been a sleeping dragon the last couple seasons. It’s nice to see them get their due now that Gary Patterson is ready to move up and Dennis Franchione is looking ready to move back down.
