Would you look at how many teams Michigan leapfrogged? Wow. And I was wondering if it would be Auburn or USC at #2 - the Tigers get the nod, but just barely. Not sure Boston College should've moves up with that awful showing against BYU, but I guess a win's a win. And I'm sure Oregon at #13's going to be real popular with some of the folks on this board.

It's nice to see TCU get some love. They are a good team. Arizona State is very over rated. They will have at least 3 conference losses to UCS, Oregon and Cal. Their defense stinks.

Michigan and Florida should have both leap-frogged West Virginia, but I like how LSU didn't fall completely out of the top 10. That was a tough loss on the road against what might be the best team in the country.
Georgia's may have the best defense in the nation and is definitely top five, watch out for them as a sleeper too win the SEC. Does anyone know the first thing about their offense?

And the last time Miami was out of the top 25 was 1999.

Nice to see someone else giving some love for my team. AZ, are you a Wildcat fan or just a fan of sports in general?

I am a college football fan in general. Graduated from Texas A&M in '91. I moved to the valley of the sun about 4 yrs ago. Since I live here, I can't help but keep up with the Arizona teams, although I am not much of a Pac10 fan. I went to the ASU/LSU game last year and was very disappointed with the fans. They don't know when to cheer and when to be quiet, and the student section is too small.
