Discussion:

• No, I’m not moving Southern Cal back to #1. Good for them, really, because Lincoln has never been an easy place to play, but even if it happened in garbage time they let Nebraska have too much late success in that game. I can’t see LSU or Oklahoma doing that. I’d say “sorry” but I’m not sorry.
• If I could I’d make Cal and Texas co-#6.
• Wisconsin is just waiting to be found out but don’t worry. It won’t happen this week!
• About the drops: What else should you do with UCLA after a floormopping like that? Maybe I’m too hard on Nebraska, I would concede that, but I don’t think I’m being too hard on them. TCU, Auburn, and Washington don’t need explanation.
• Yes, I am TOTALLY serious about Mississippi State. It’s hard to win a game in Auburn. So watch the Bulldogs lose to Gardner-Webb this week. That would be just their luck–and mine.
