Somehow our voters couldn’t see it in their hearts to completely wipe Auburn off the face of our Top 25 this week, despite the fact that they lost to a commuter school. Don’t blame me, if I could have cast negative votes in Tommy Tuberville’s direction, I would have. As good as it was to see Michigan (sucks!) lose, I have a special place in my heart for Auburn/Tuberville themed schadenfreude.

Also Receiving Votes: Oregon, Oklahoma State

Notes: We have a new #1 this week. I usually laugh at the notion that a college team could beat a pro team, but I’d take LSU against the Cleveland Browns, at least until Quinn starts. And after the show LSU put on last week, we can’t see leaving USC as #1 (despite a tie in votes) considering they stayed home and ate cheeseburgers last week. Oklahoma also managed to tie LSU and USC for votes, but we’re giving LSU the edge because a smack down on VaTech is, at present, more impressive than a smack down on Miami. And we give SoCal the edge over Oklahoma because dropping the Trojans down 2 spots for staying home seems a bit much.

Clearly we must really think Michigan sucks, because the Ducks’ absolute torching of Michigan (sucks!) wasn’t enough to get Oregon to crack the top 10. As I said above, Auburn is, somehow, still hanging on.

And note what happens when you give up 30+ points to Middle Tennessee State, Louisville. You don’t get to pose as a Top-15 team.

Also of note, we didn’t go and instantly throw Penn State into the Top 10 after the ND game. I don’t think we’re all really sold on Morelli.
