Didn't USC beat Michigan 31-13 ?  I tell you,  I just don't get AP voters sometimes.
some folks don't put all their eggs in the head to head match up basket well, unless it's a tiebreaker for conference standing
It will be interesting how the CFP committee ranks the 2 of them.  Of course,  by the time the CFP rankings come out,  things will be different.
Well pulling for USC or M* is like asking if you prefer Hemorrhoids or the Crabs

more data at that time - one of them might not be in the conversation at that time

Another set of rankings with Michigan in front of USC.   
We are all equal but some are more equal than others.

I don't understand the lovefest for Michigan in these rankings. 

  • Lost to Oklahoma by 11
  • Beat Nebraska by 3
  • Beat Wisconsin by 14
  • Lost to USC by 18
  • Beat Washington by 17 at home
  • Beat MSU by 11

USC might actually be better, and I don't know why I would say this. Perhaps I am on less stable ground, than FOX, and all their resources that go into their rankings.

Yes, USC seems better to me,  but I ain't going to die on this hill either.  Part of me knows USC could easily go Nebraska this Saturday and crap the bed.

  • OHIO STATE (1) - bye week
  • INDIANA (2) - put Cinderella down at about 9:30
  • OREGON (3) - sleepy effort, got the win
  • USC (5) - bye week
  • MICHIGAN (6) - I think I'd just pick the home team in #4-#8, they all seem about the same
  • WASHINGTON (7) - see above
  • IOWA (8) - see above
  • ILLINOIS (4) - see above
  • MINNESOTA (9) - tempted to drop them, but not sure how I can drop them behind Nebraska one week after they handled them
  • NEBRASKA (10) - much needed W
  • NORTHWESTERN (11) - considering the November schedule, really needed that one for a bowl
  • UCLA (12) - I guess they ARE beatable
  • MARYLAND (13) - bye week
  • PENN STATE (14) - bye week
  • RUTGERS (15) - what a way to steal a win
  • MICHIGAN STATE (16) - fight still there, coaching and talent is not
  • PURDUE (17) - what a way to steal a loss
  • WISCONSIN (18) - see MSU
