OSU edged out LSU for the top spot by one point, despite a much weaker strength of schedule. I'm a little uncomfortable with this situation, but the Buckeyes are undefeated and have been generally solid. The Michigan game should settle this issue one way or the other.

ASU dropped 2 spots after a loss to #3 Oregon. Hard to ding them too much considering the quality of their one loss and overall strong schedule.

Oklahoma and Missouri benefited from BC's shocking loss. You'd think BC would take a much bigger hit after losing to a terrible Florida State squad, but we just didn’t feel like anyone else deserved to jump them. This was less about BC's merits and more about everyone else not making a case for themselves.

Kansas is still way down there thanks to a miserable schedule. They haven't proven a thing yet, and I actually think we're being a bit generous with them. After averaging all of the ballots, Kansas actually jumped WVU, but the final poll does not reflect that change in accordance with the cheeseburger doctrine.

There was some debate as to the # 10 team, but Georgia ended up sneaking in there thanks to their excellent strength of schedule.
