Dropped Out: South Florida (#25).


Certainly, I'll get some flack for bumping Texas Tech to the top spot. However, in my mind their win over Texas was the most impressive by any top-five team this season. I'm putting them in the top spot, but if Alabama waxes LSU Saturday (highly possible, in my view), the Tide may roll back up there.

Penn State is a really good team, don't get me wrong. But I don't think beating Ohio State - even in Columbus - is on par with beating Texas on any field. The Longhorns were firing on all cylinders and even starting to play some defense before Tech got after them.

Thoughts?
