Dropped Out: UCLA (#7), Georgia Tech (#16), Washington (#21).

-USC is back on top this week. This was really a tossup between USC and LSU. USC's big win was on the road, giving them a slight edge on my ballot.

-Ohio State gets a big bump for beating a good Washington team on the road.

-West Virginia wins the "team I can find quite as much disdain for" award.

-BC looked pretty good at GT, they move way up.

-Alabama and Kentucky are the big movers, beating Arkansas and Louisville who both fall 9 spots.

-Rutgers and South Florida both benefit from teams sliding out in front of them.
