Go Commodores!

So we are seeing yet another week in college football featuring top teams going down to defeat. South Florida lost earlier in the week, and already today we've seen #23 Cincinnati lose to Pitt and #6 South Carolina lose to Vanderbilt. And in a few minutes #20 Tennessee will have been (crushingly) defeated by Alabama. Is this a fun season or what?

And #8 Kentucky loses to Florida, and #10 Cal loses to UCLA. As to the latter, I really didn't see that coming. I can't figure out those two teams at all.

So that means 4 of the top 10 teams have lost this week. Out of those I wouldn't expect South Florida to fall all that far (especially given the other losses). I'd think they'd still end up at 5th or 6th in the polls. As to the others - we'll see.

i think you're right that south florida deserves to stay up there, especially given another raft of upsets, but i don't share your confidence that it'll actually play out that way. as you and i have discussed, it's all about the non-conference schedule -- not just for USF, which of course beat auburn on the road, but for rutgers, which beat them, and which has lost to maryland. i'm guessing USF ends uop 8-10, and rutgers returns to the polls around 20. someone needs to beat connecticut, like now.

Okay, that's just stupid - South Florida slips all the way down to #11!?!

What in the hell has USC done to be ranked above them? Why is West Virginia (who they beat) ranked way above them? I could see VA Tech ranked above this next week - but this week?

Maybe my earlier suggestion was too high, but I'm really surprised they fell out of the top 10 entirely.
