Dropped out:
How Sports Editor Travis Robinett Voted
1. South Florida — Even though they weren't in my top 10 last week, that was a huge mistake by me. Out of the six unbeatens, the Bulls have the two best wins.
2. Ohio State — Do I have to? Ohio State will lose before long.
3. Boston College — Still unproven, but this Saturday at Virginia Tech should show BC's worth.
4. South Carolina — SEC champs?
5. Arizona State — Upcoming schedule for the Sun Devils; California, at Oregon; at UCLA; GLA. They'll lose at least one of those.
6. Kansas — Win at Kansas State (a really good team) will look better and better as the season progresses, but Kansas's schedule has been (and will continue to be) easier than the other unbeatens, sans Hawaii.
7. Kentucky — Where was Ashley Judd?
8. Oregon — Which uniform will the Ducks wear next?
8. Oregon — Whiteahoma
9. Oklahoma — Missouri would've won on a neutral field, though.
10. Missouri — The Tigers may not lose again until the Border Show down at Arrowhead.
