This is what I don't like about AP Poll rankings. There is no rhyme or reason to it.

LSU leaps over USC, but yet USC didn't lose.

Florida, formally #4, comes in at #9, dropping 5 spots.
But they lost at home, to an unranked Auburn team that didn't make the rankings this week.

Oklahoma, formally #3, comes in at #10, dropping 7 spots.
They lost on the road, to an unranked Colorada team that also didn't make the rankings this week.

W.Va., formally #5, comes in at #13, dropping 8 spots.
They lost on the road, to the #13 ranked South Florida team, now ranked #6.

Texas, formally #7, comes in at #19, dropping 12 spots.
They lost at home, to an unranked Kansas State team, now ranked #24.

To me, USC should still be #1, W.Va. should be ahead of both Florida and Oklahoma, with Oklahoma ahead of Florida. Between these three, Florida is the only one that had home field advantage, but yet is ahead of Oklahoma and W.Virginia. Go figure.

USC barely escaped from WASHINGTON. That's why.

Everyone knows how close LSU and USC have been in the polls. It would only take one of these teams to struggle just a bit for the other to overtake them.

That's all that happened.

USC had a let down game. No they did not lose. But I still like to see LSU above SUC anytime. =)

Go Tigers.... :p:

That's the one that made me raise my eyebrows.

Like you said...lost at HOME to a unranked and still unranked Auburn...but only drops 5 spots...sorry but that's BS.

Not that I have anything against Florida.:p:

Actually I'll be rooting for them this week against LSU.:D

Florida is still kind of shiney and new....I thought they should be down like 12-14 myself.

Purdue will be a good game with them cracking the poll at 5-0.
