I think its just not updated yet. see Oregon State and USC still in the top 10.

 

[KPENN]

Yeah not updated.

 

[greyhammer90]

Why does it show UF with a loss then?

Because they just updated their record after yesterday.

Because they just updated their record after yesterday.

I hope that's the case. I've never seen a poll site do that before. Update the columns of information individually.

Updated record but ranking doesn't come out til Monday I think...

Ranking has to come out today. This poll is 1/3 of the BCS rankings that are coming out tonight. I'm glad it appears to just be a mix-up though. I was about to rage.

Whew! Was about to lose all faith in the Validity of the present system. Hope you guys are correct.

Just updated we're 4. Not really close to KSU either (they got a 1st place vote????). Hopefully we do well with the computers!

EDIT:
We have a % of .888 up from .8257 last week. (.0623 increase)
KSU went from a .8943 to a .92386 (.02956 increase)
So we made up some ground on them.
Oregon went from .9485 to .9478 (.007 drop-surprising considering UF's lose)

Seems about right to me. I think we would jump KSU with a win v. USC (assuming we both win out).
GO USC!

No need to hope. They've updated the poll.

Does anyone think we wouldn't crush K-State were we fortunate enough to play them? This is all about people thinking they are a cute story and being too careful not to overrate ND again. And Oregon has played the worst schedule in the country. Wouldn't be shocked if they both lose a game coming down the stretch here.

I really don't understand all the love for K-State. We have two common opponents: Miami at home and Oklahoma away. The Miami game is a wash, as both ND and KSU murdered the Canes. And then we come to the trips to Norman... if Blake Bell doesn't fumble at the goal line, OU probably wins that game. Notre Dame went in there and just beat the Sooners up.

It is tough for KSU to plan OOC games because they have to play 9 conference games in the Big 12, and they couldn't account for Miami being horrible (neither could we). However, OOC wins against Missouri State and North Texas count for nothing, especially when you see that North Texas played them very, very close.

I feel like all the hype around that West Virginia game is what's keeping them ahead of us, despite the fact that WVU has been terribly exposed since then. Voters can point to close wins against Purdue and BYU, but K-State has done the same thing. Like I mentioned, North Texas (!!) hung with them for three quarters, and Iowa State gave them everything they could handle.
