I wasn't impressed by USC against Idaho in relation to what others did -- ie LSU going on the road in conference (regardless of opponent) and dominating. I don't want to do it based on reputation or potential schedule or possibilty of going unbeaten -- i go by the week's games and those before it.

Preseason is a crapshoot in determining a pecking order.

For me Boise moved up because of how they won plus the fact that Texas and Virginia Tech struggled at home against inferior competition and moved down. Michigan dropping out helped them too. Otherwise they would have stayed put. Reputation is nice an dall, but if we did that, Boise wouldn't get a sniff of anything. Maybe Cal is ranked too low -- someone I showed my ballot too pointed that out -- but I think Tennessee is a tad overrated.

I said in another post, once you get to the third week, it becomes a lot clearer -- just look at this week for instance, LSU-Va. Tech, TCU-Texas, Nebraska-Wake Forest, Oklahoma-Miami, Georgia-S. Carolina, Auburn-S. Florida, Boise State-Washington. Seven games that will jumble the top 25 no matter who wins.

I jumped Cal several spots.. I liked what I saw against Tennessee-ya, even at home.

I jumped Cal bigtime, too, into the top 10. 45 on Tennessee, a top-15 team. Good enough for me.

Problem is, with that offensive line, they're going to lose games like that against better opponents. They didn't do much to impress Saturday night.

Auburn's D looks great. Their offense, bad. Eventually they'll run into a game where they can't survive on their D alone. Then another, then another.

If you guys jumped them, I let them hop, skip and jump into the top 5. I had them at 4, just for the reasons you said, Xan.

I put Cal 6 or 7, IIRC.

but they do this to EVERYONE, K-State, LSU, Directional Louisiana, Georgia, The Citadel. It doesn't matter the foe. They've done this for several years in a row.

There are some who think the first may come this weekend.

And that would make Webby jump up and down a great deal.

I said last week that 20-25 was tough. This week I'll amend that to spots 7-12.
