How this week should play out.
#3 TCU doesn't play, which is about as challenging as one of their normally scheduled games. Voters still in awe over their HUGE win over an amazing Utah team will continue to vote them up.
#4 Boise State - hey, pretty soon they will play a second team who is currently ranked in the top 25. ESPN will remind us how amazing they are and how they deserve a shot at the title no matter what scab they're playing this week though. Repeatedly.
#5 LSU plays at home against a terrible Ole Miss. LSU will win on some classic late game collapse/luck/heroics. Les Miles unorthodox game management at it's best. Beating an SEC team, no matter how bad, will boost their ranking.
#6 Stanford plays @ Cal (5-5). Apparently it doesn't matter who stanford plays or if they win coming from behind against a 4-6 team. They're climbing in the polls.
#8 Nebraska plays @ #19 Texas A&M
Nebraska could hold Texas A&M to 87 yards of offense and win by 3 scores and still manage to lose ground to stanford if they won by the skin of their teeth against a .500 Cal team. Sorta like last week.
#9 OSU plays @ #20 Iowa
Tressel needs to find his inner Bielema and keep throwing deep against Iowa even if they are up big. If asked about it, just say that is what the play card told you to do.
This is the first time in five years that the top 10 order has remained the same from one week to the next.
not really suprising. The top 3 didn't win all that impressively, but they didn't lose either.
