9 of the top 25 lost.

5 of theTop 10 lost.

Here come the one loss teams.

3 Pac 10 teams and 2 Big 10 teams in Top 5 ? If so, that only means the polls get skewed big time and don't reflect conference balance in ACC and SEC. Hopefully that plays out by years end and BCS polls.

Ohio State and Wisconsin probably make it into the top 5, but how do you figure 3 Pac 10 teams? USC and Cal will probably be there, but Oregon isn't going to jump higher in rankings after losing, and LSU will definitely be top 5. I reckon it will probably fall out like this:

1-USC
2-LSU
3-Cal
4-Ohio State
5-Wisconsin

Of course, LSU might just sneak past USC to numero uno.
