Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Southern Cal (#17), Brigham Young (#23).

Thoughts:

Little movement at the top - TCU is for real though. They even have a growing quality win over potential ACC champ Clemson. They still need some upsets to get into the title game.

Gooey middle - No one in the middle of hte poll wanted to win this week. As a result there are wild fluctuations in the middle.

The Pac 10 makes a move - USC drops out entirely after getting pantsed at home. Stanford makes a big jump after another impressive win. Oregon State and Arizona still control their own destinies with remaining games against Oregon.

Pittsburgh making a BCS case - If not for an ugly loss to North Carolina State we'd have another de facto national semifinal at the end of the year against Cincinnati.
