How Sports Editor Travis Robinett Voted
Oregon
2. Oklahoma — The Sooners jump USC because Miami (FL), who the Sooners blew out two weekends ago, completely dismantled Texas A&M.
1. LSU — Until the Tigers lose, I'm not changing my No. 1
3. USC — There will be BCS controversy when LSU, Oklahoma and USC all end up undefeated.
4. Florida — Mississippi? The Gators must do better against a poor SEC team.
5. West Virginia - This Friday's game against South Florida could decide the Big East champion.
6. California — Traveling to Oregon will show the Bears' real worth.
7. Texas — Finally had a blowout, but Rice lost to Baylor.
8. Ohio State — The Buckeyes keep winning, but the Big 10 is really bad.
10. Oregon — Game vs. California will decide the Pac 10's No. 1 contender.
7. Wisconsin — See Ohio State's comment.
