Dropped Out: Boston College (#17).
A little bit of shuffling around the top 10, based on USC and WVU’s struggles most notably, and the fact that Michigan backed up the ND win with even more defense. Everyone else kind of falls in, though I tried not to give ND too much credit for the MSU win, while not punishing MSU all that hard for pissing down their leg after taking control of the game for three quarters. Besides, John L. will have them out of the poll by next weekend, regardless.
Games I watched: UM-Wisky, OSU-PSU, ND-MSU, BG-Kent State (ugh!) and a little Purdue-Minnesota, ECU-WVU, Illinois-Iowa. I’m thinking there were more, but it was a bit of a busy day at work.
