Since this will most likely come up for discussion, how far do we jump in the polls? I'm thinking 11th....maybe 10th but that's pushing it IMO.

Well, two top ten teams lost today (so far). I have to agree that 11th/10th is a pretty safe bet.

With Sparty and Mizzou's losses, I don't see how we move up more than two spots unless we leapfrog idle LSU into 11th. The other teams ranked immediately ahead of us (tOSU and Stanford) pasted their opponents today.
edit: I guess Wisconsin had the day off, too, so 10 is maybe possible...

The way I see it there are three categories in the polls right now:
#1-6 - 5 undefeateds + Alabama
#7-12. (no order) Ohio state, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Stanford, LSU
Others : Mizzou okst Arizona mich state
In our second tier group, you can make the argument for us as 7 or 8 just as well as 11 or 12. Personally I think we
Jump LSU, Stanford, OU, and OhioState. Number8. Our "huge" win over "6 Mizzou" will help big time

My guess:
1) Oregon
2) Auburn
3) Boise State
4) TCU
5) Utah
6) Alabama
7) Stanford
8) LSU
9) Wisconsin
10) Oklahoma
11) Ohio State
12) Nebraska
I'd like to see Nebraska ranked in the top 10, but I don't think it will happen. Frankly, Ohio State is unbelievably overrated in my opinion. Their "signature win" was a home game against a badly overrated (and now unranked) Miami team. Otherwise, they haven't played anyone except Wisconsin, and Wisconsin dominated them. Seriously, check their sched, it's pretty sad: Marshall, Miami, Ohio, Eastern Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Purdue, Minnesota. If you take out Wisconsin, the rest of those teams may have won a total of 10 games, am I'm not exaggerating too much.
LSU, in my view, is similarly overrated. Their "signature win" was against a rapidly deteriorating Florida team. Fortunately, they play Alabama and Arkansas on their way out of the SEC, and I expect they'll lose both.
Oklahoma has to win the "horseshoe up the @$$" award for repeatedly falling bassackwards into rankings it doesn't deserve. Everyone---including Oklahoma fans and players---had a collective "Whaaaaa?" when OU was ranked #1. They are immediately exposed by an above-average Missouri team and somehow manage to stay in the top 10. Their Texas win at a neutral site is now worthless, leaving them with a blowout victory over a mediocre ACC team (aren't they all?). Assuming they remain in the top 10, Oklahoma will have the distinction of being ranked above the team that beat it, and the team that beat that team.
Auburn and Alabama will both play each other, so one will drop from the top 10. TCU and Utah play each other, so the loser will drop. Wisconsin will continue to bleed out from a gut shot, as it's win against Ohio State drops in value and its loss to Michigan State looks worse and worse. And, of course, we will get a chance to knock out Oklahoma.
