Michigan survives; USC does as well.

My new, shaken up Top 10:

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. Texas
4. USC
5. Louisville
6. West Virginia
7. Arkansas
8. Auburn
9. Florida
10. Notre Dame

Mind retitling this thread with a "Part 2" and linking back to the first one?

Look who's moving back up the rankings this week... I believe that would be AUBURN! *whistles innocently*

[Drake Tungsten]

Why should Auburn move up after beating another overrated SEC team (and being lucky to do so, at home)? That'd be as silly as ranking Michigan #2 when they play a weak Big Ten schedule and their biggest win was against an average ND team...

[reismark]

If USC is #2 in the AP tomorrow, I'm going to commit hara-kiri on some pollsters. They proved with another anemic, just-escaping performance tonight against Arizona State that they're just not among the elite. Someone's going to expose them, be it Oregon, Cal or Notre Dame.

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. West Virginia (+1)
4. Louisville (+1)
5. Notre Dame (+2)
6. Southern Cal
7. Texas (+1)
8. Auburn (+2)
9. Tennessee
10. California (+1)
11. Florida (-8)
12. Clemson
13. Georgia Tech
14. Boise State (+1)
15. Arkansas **
16. Oregon **

Dropped: Missouri, Iowa

I'm this close to putting Rutgers on the list. I'll probably do it if they can beat Pittsburgh next week.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I agree with Drake, aside from the beating of an 'overrated SEC team'. Florida is a good team that got robbed by a 'fumble' call that was obviously an incomplete pass.

1. Ohio State
2. West Virginia
3. Michigan
4. Tennessee
5. Florida
6. Texas
7. Louisville
8. USC (Southern Cal)
9. California
10. Clemson

The brawl in question...

[DanS]

Miami's #19 should be prosecuted.

That commentator needs to be fired.

Yep. That was shameful.

[reismark]

I have a feeling that between the NCAA and the Miami AD, there's going to be enough suspensions and team dismissals to derail any chance Miami had of doing anything this season (and even if they qualify for a bowl, I suspect the AD will decline it as punishment for this).

The one guy who'll be smiling under the angry rhetoric? Larry Coker. This literally bails him out of any chance of being fired after the season.

[Imran Siddiqui]

What? Why would it? It would show that he can't keep a handle on his team. After Butch Davis rehabilitated Miami's image somewhat, Coker drives it right back down.

[SlowwHand]

That may be the largest, most violent, brawl I've ever seen on a football field.

[Eroberer]

I caught far fewer games this week than any past week. I hate it when I have to rank based on scores alone.

My Week 7 rankings:

1) OSU
2) Michigan (I TOLD you all they were #2! =)
3) West Virginia
4) Tennessee
5) Cal
6) Texas
7) Louisville (I didn't know their QB was going to be back)
8) Clemson (might break into the "real" top 10 this week.)
9) USC (ESPN and ABC refused to switch over to this game late)
10) Florida

I picked Florida over Auburn, because I feel like if they played 10 times, Florida would win 7 of those. Florida really convinced me today. Chris Leak did NOT fumble that ball, but oh well.

Week 6 Rankings:
1) OSU
2) Michigan (still impressive)
3) West Virginia
4) Florida (I'm still skeptical, but they keep winning)
5) Tennessee
6) Cal (helluva game today; they'll beat USC)
7) Texas (OU would've gotten this spot if they'd won)
8) Clemson (gotta give some love to the ACC)
9) Louisville (till they lose to WVU and Rutgers in a row)
10) USC (and falling fast!)

Week 5 Rankings:
1) Ohio State (even though they pay their players)
2) Michigan
3) West Virginia (I think they squeak past Louisville later in the year)
4) Florida
5) Auburn
6) Tennesee
7) USC (not impressive, why are they #1 - 3?)
8) Clemson
9) Cal
10) LSU (I like their QB)
