"I am curious as to what the coaches reasoning was for USC jumping ahead of Boise State this week. Was USC's win over BYE more impressive than Boise's win over BYE?"

The answer IMO lies with SOS and with the fact that the coaches know BCS schools vs non-BCS schools are different breeds. And, they know the hidden situation regarding recruiting, facilities, scholarships, etc.

However, in my rating that would never happen because the two schools each did not play so neither would have gained points nor lost points. The difference is teams moving above them but they would stay in position one above the other though the positional gap could differ (shrink).

Now, back to the beginning. Boise has Tulsa this week. Maybe a good game, but hardly Top 25 caliber. USC has Notre Dame which has a lot of power.......wait, I said Notre Dame? OK, hardly a Top 25 caliber game. (Yes folks, Notre Dame is my first hint to shock within my rankings. Another is Miami (Fla).)

Bring on the Cleveland Plain-Bagger or whatever the name is? Is it Bill Livingston???? Where's your Top 25? Here's mine coming into this week's games:
