Dropped from rankings: Notre Dame 18, Missouri 25

Others receiving votes: Missouri 93, Pittsburgh 87, Oregon State 64, Texas Tech 54, UCLA 44, Notre Dame 40, West Virginia 30, Auburn 26, Iowa 23, Boston College 19, Baylor 15, Clemson 10, Oregon 5, Arizona 4, Arkansas 3, Colorado State 2, Florida State 1, Minnesota 1, South Florida 1

 
How in the hell Notre Dame still manages to receive 40 votes is beyond me. I wonder what Lou Holtz-s-s-s is saying now that Notre Dame got beat by a not so great Michigan team that will probably just barely become bowl eligible this year.

Impressive jump for Houston though. That was an unbelievable game against OK St., one I would have never seen coming.

 
Steadily moving on up. Hope the V Tech game goes well.

UT won't hold the #2 ranking in the BCS with their SOS and their hopes of beating highly ranked teams from Oklahoma being dashed. Bama, SC and Cal are all positioned to leap them, which if the AP was not regionally biased would have happened after the Trojans win.

 
If BYU keeps winning, and beats a top 15 TCU and top 10 Utah, would they have a legit case to make the BCS championship? Especially if Oklahoma wins out?

i agree........ i just dont know how i feel about Ohio state losing to USC and how this will play out in the future..... i am actually starting to feel bad for the buckeyes.....

 
I really don't feel bad for OSU or anyone in the Little 11. Penn State is probably the only respectable team in that conference right now and they will trip up along the way like they always do. It seems as if every conference has completely passed the Little 11 up and they refuse to try and catch up.

i guess because my wifes from Ohio and her and family all went to OSU.. each year they got all hyped up and every year BOOM... but then again they are playing (albiet losing nation championship games) in national title games... are always highly ranked and get a ton of good recruits.......

looking at this poll as of right now i'd like to predict my busts will be Ole Miss, Cal (will be eventually expoed)... not convinced of them amongst others...

2-0 Houston beats Oklahoma St. 45-35 in Stillwater, and is ranked behind them. God the pollsters are so f***ing stupid.

Week 2 polls are as meaningful as nutritional labels to Mangino. They are there but you don't pay attention.

I wouldn't even say Penn State is respectable. If you look at their non-conference schedule, it is one of the weakest I've noticed. In their four non-conference games, they have played two (Akron 31-7, Syracuse 28-7) and have Temple and Eastern Illinois. Beating garbage teams like Akron and Syracuse by not too convincing scores reinforces your statement that they will trip up like they always do. The Big 10 is a joke. They need to do something about this downward spiral they are on against quality teams and conferences.

I know their schedule is crap, but I have the most respect for them than any other crappy team from that conference. OSU is a complete joke and have proven it time and time again by not being able to win a big game.
