1. LSU 5-0 (Last week: 1)
Oh, sure, now the AP voters figure it out, too
2. USC 4-0 (2)
Although that means they penalized the Trojans for giving up a meaningless, late touchdown to a good team on the road. Nice.
3. Ohio State 5-0 (6)
Buckeyes taking advantage of a Big 10 that hasn’t been this weak in a long time.
4. California 5-0 (8)
Cleared a big hurdle at Oregon, but Arizona State, Southern Cal remain.
5. Wisconsin 5-0 (9)
Actually an underdog Saturday at Illinois, if that tells you anything.
6. Florida 4-1 (3)
Beat LSU, win out the rest of the way and Gators could still defend championship.
7. Oklahoma 4-1 (4)
Knew they weren’t that good; didn’t think they were that bad.
8. South Florida 4-0 (18)
Auburn and West Virginia gift-wrapped about 10 total turnovers, but give Bulls their props.
9. West Virginia 4-1 (5)
Six trips inside the South Florida 30-yard line = 13 points.
10. Boston College 5-0 (11)
The people who moved Eagles ahead of Florida and Oklahoma should have their ballots revoked.
11. Kentucky 5-0; 12. South Carolina 4-1; 13. Arizona State 5-0; 14. Virginia Tech 4-1; 15. Georgia 4-1; 16. Texas 4-1; 17. Florida State 3-1; 18. Oregon 4-1; 19. Hawaii 5-0; 20. Nebraska 4-1; 21. Missouri 4-0; 22. Purdue 5-0; 23. Cincinnati 5-0; 24. Rutgers 3-1; 25. Clemson 4-1.
Dropping out of Top 25: Penn State, Alabama.
