outside lookin' in: Wisconsin, WakeF, Georgia, Purdue, Arkansas

Comments: Ohio State really solidified itself as the number one, for the second time this season. Solid road win.
WVU holds onto number two as neither Auburn nor USC impressed in their wins. They're number two for now, but I'm going to take a critical look at them again in their next game. Ditto for Louisville, as I almost moved Michigan above them. Michigan has looked good lately.
I really have to stress that the top 7 unbeatens, plus Texas and LSU, are really miles above everyone else. Of that group, Florida looks the most vulnerable. They play LSU in the best game of the coming week.
The next group of Oregon, TN, Notre Dame, Clemson, GATech, and Oklahoma is a step under that top group, but solidly ahead of the rest of the top 25.
I underrated Iowa last week and that is why I moved them up despite the loss.
One last note - I can't believe how close I'm coming to ranking Wake Forest...
