Remember this is all about Quality Wins so beating Notre Dame might give you additional hype but it won't land you on this poll.
1. Louisiana State - Another quality opponen1 for the Tigers and another easy victory. They toyed with the Gamecocks by giving up the first touchdown and then laid the hammer down and let them score a few points in the last quarter. Who knew Les Miles could be so creative with the sweet Fake Field Goal which had the Ole Ball Coach laughing on the sidelines. Quality Wins: VaTech, South Carolina
2. Oregon - Oregon is making the leap up one spot. Why because Michigan is going to win their next 5 games after shutting down PSU this weekend and Houston hasn't lost a game since their opener to the Ducks. Sure the Ducks faltered a bit this weekend but they still tooled on Stanford in the second half and scored another 50+. Quality Wins: Houston, @Michigan
3. Oklahoma - Oklahoma got a nice boost this weekend from the fact that Miami laid the wood down on Big 12 rival Texas A&M. If you use the transitive score property the Oklahoma A&M score should be a lot to a very little in favor of the Sooners. Quality Wins: Miami
4. Kentucky - Unfortunately for the Wildcats, Louisville had to spit the bit this weekend else they could be contending for the #1 spot on this poll. Quality Wins: Louisville, @Arkansas
5. Southern Cal - The Trojans dropped really at no fault of their own but rather because the Nebraska win lost a lot of its luster after the Huskers nearly lost to a Ball St. Once USC gets into the heart of their Pac 10 schedule they will jump back to the top. Quality Wins: @Nebraska
6. Clemson - The Tigers jump up a few spots from the realization that perhaps Florida State is the best win any ACC team has right now. The Tigers since have plowed through their weak schedule. Quality Wins: FSU
7. Florida - Florida way to scare your team a bit against Ole Miss. It's not really a big deal and is ignored in these rankings, but still how about you don't make games like that so close. Florida falls a spot cause I decided that FSU was a better win than Tennessee. Quality Wins: Tennessee
8. California - Since their week 1 victory over the Volunteers Cal has sat and played no one. This changes next week and will result in a little shakeup of the Power Rankings when they square off against Oregon in Eugene. Quality Wins: Tennessee
9. South Carolina - There is no disgrace in losing to arguably the #1 team in the country on their home turf. Additionally the UGA win looks better after UGA knocked of the Tide in Bama. Quality Wins: @UGA
10. Georgia - I'll let Georgia in the mix despite their home loss against the GameCocks which could be mildly contrued as a home loss. The win against the Crimson Tide was a quality one and the Oklahoma St. opening victory gained a little bit of steam after they beat Texas Tech this week despite losing to Troy the prior week. So we'll just leave one quality win in the bank for UGA and maybe one pending. Quality Wins: @Alabama
11. Arizona St. - Again the final spots have been difficult to lay out the past few weeks. BC looks great but GT lost to UVA this weekend. Ohio St. could have pushed for entrance but Washington lost to UCLA. In the end I settled on ASU who have marginal Quality Wins against Oregon St. and Colorado. We'll put down the Beaver win as the good one. Quality Wins: OSU
Dropped Out: Alabama drops out after their OT loss to UGA who jumps in, BC whose quality win shrunk due to GT losing to a team coached by Al Groh.
