Not a big yank at this point in the season....California deserved to move after spanking the Vols.

from Stuey Mandel's (a pollster) power rankings...

This has to be the first time in Power Rankings history that I've penalized a team for a loss by its rival. I was already uncomfortable placing OSU so high, and if Michigan was that overrated, the Buckeyes probably aren't far behind. Plus, Chris Wells only ran for 46 on Youngstown State.

Have to wonder how many others felt the same way.
Also have to wonder how many tOSU fans will e-mail him this week.

i wouldn't worry about our spot in the polls at this point. if osu keeps winning, the polls will take care of themselves. |

Could a part of the reason Va Tech didn't plummet be empathy from the media after what transpired in April? I agree though - they didn't look sharp.
I thought Cal looked good as well, though the jury's out (IMHO) on Tennessee - I don't think they are a top 15 team.
As for scUM dropping out of the top 25, wow. It could either galvanize them or cause them to completely implode. |

We will know over the next couple weeks, Oregon isn't that great this year, so if they wanna prove that it was a fluke (aka they choked, or as they call it on the dance floor, the Llllloyd-Shuffle) a good start would be to run the score up on em. Though neither team has any defense so it could just be a shootout, and with Oregon being unranked, that wouldn't exactly help their cause. |

Scum D isnt going to improve that much. But they will be back in with a few wins. They do have a good offense.
