ESPN just did the first estimated BCS top 5 for this past week. Not that much different. Brad Edwards is usually money.
1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. South Carolina
4. WVU
5. Florida

Florida 5 due to it is number 1 in the computers.
Real BCS comes out next week. Yeah, season is flying by.

Didn't see it mentioned on here yet, but this is the first time EVER the Big Ten had zero teams ranked in the Coaches poll. Very surprising stat.

They lost AT Florida, a top 10 team, by 8 points. Its not like they played NC State or Iowa State. But, by how they looked yday, they didnt play like a top 10 team. If they get whooped by USC.......they should drop ALOT. If they win, they should move up two spots.

Saying they only lost by 8 points kind of overlooks the fact they only scored two field goals. But I do agree losing at #4/6 Florida isn't a terrible loss and I can live with waiting to see how they do against South Carolina before them taking a big nose dive in the polls. (It will be a huge test for SC and we'll know more about both teams after next Saturday.)

Yes they did lose to a ranked opponent on the road. But I'm not completely buying into Florida yet.

LSU also struggled against the mighty Auburn and Towson (for the 1st half).

LSU's best win at the moment is Washington (which is mediocre).

The lackluster win at UMass last week hurt them. They were about 27-29 in AP coming into that game, but lost some votes when they needed a fourth-quarter comeback to beat that shit team. Only beating Buffalo by 7 isn't that impressive, but at least when looking at their schedule, they had a hard-earned 1-3 or 1-4 record coming into the game, as their losses were more competitive and mostly to half-decent teams at least.

Well, the offense is horrible for some reason. But, the defense held UF to 80 yards (I believe) the first half until all the injuries. If it wasnt for LSU losing both linebackers, and others thru out the game......I dont think UF would of had that good 2nd half. LSU is now without at least 5 starters or more. Thats going to kill them the rest of the season. Being healthy, they are top 5. But, right now I think LSU is below top 10. I really dont know what to expect this w/e against USC. At home LSU seems to be alot better and USC is a totally different team on the road. Should be interesting.
