USC Jumps tOSU and Georgia...

[Andrew - Resident Gator]

#1 USC
#2 Georgia
#3 tOSU
#4 Oklahoma
#5 Florida

Not surprising... They played the best opponent out of the top 3, but I think UF should have gone to 4th. Seeing how Florida played the only D1 school besides USC. And frankly I think Oklahoma is a little overhyped.

Oh well, just take care of business against Miami, and we could even move to 3rd or maybe 2nd. Miami > Ohio, Central Michigan, Cincinatti.

I'm not shocked that USC jumped to #1. A lot of voters were looking for a reason to vote for them anyways. As for Florida, it makes sense that they didn't jump simply because it's rare that teams jump after the first week. Like I said, voters were just itching for USC to give them a reason to vote.

I don't think Florida can jump OSU or Georgia this week if the games go as expected mainly because I think the voters want that #1 v. #3 or #2 matchup for one. Secondly, I just don't think there are a lot of people that think Florida is better than either team. I'm still not sure in the debate, but I'm just saying that's why I don't think it will happen.

Depending how much we hang, or dont hang on Miami, people will be able to determine if Florida is better than tOSU or UGA. While those two teams were busy playing nobodies, Florida was playing two legit teams.

Whether Hawaii is legit is debatable. Better than Youngstown St.? Probably. Better than Ohio? We'll see, seriously. Miami's certainly better and more dangerous than these two but I see nothing to make me think they'd be a tough game for anyone in the Top 10.

I'll be interested in seeing what happens though, I just can't see Florida making a jump unless they win by 40 points or more.
