In a season full of upsets, last weekend was no different, as No. 2 South Florida fell to Rutgers 30-27 in Picscataway, N.J. on Thursday and LSU rebounded from its first loss by narrowly beating Auburn 30-24. The result is five different teams receiving first place votes, including Ohio State (13), LSU (2), Boston College (1), Oklahoma (1) and Arizona State (1).
Ohio State retained the top spot in the Southern College Football poll following a narrow 24-17 victory over Michigan State. LSU, which defeated Auburn on a last-second touchdown pass, jumped over unbeaten Boston College to claim No. 2. B.C. on a bye last week, remained at No. 3, followed by Oklahoma and Oregon, up four spots from No. 9 last week.
Unbeaten Arizona State moved up one spot to No. 6. West Virginia capitalized on a 38-13 win over Mississippi State to climb three spots in the rankings, followed by Virginia Tech, which hosts No. 3 Boston College on Thursday night. Florida and Southern California round out the top 10. On Saturday, the Trojans will travel to Eugene in a Pac-10 showdown with No. 5 Oregon.
Kansas, the fourth of five unbeaten team, defeated Colorado in Boulder and moved up four spots to No. 11 and one spot ahead of Missouri, 41-10 victors over Texas Tech. South Florida dropped 11 spots to No. 13, while Kentucky fell six spots to No. 14 after losing at home to Florida 45-37. Hawaii moved back into the rankings at No. 15 following a bye. Auburn becomes the first team to lose and move up in the rankings, as their last second loss to LSU had voters give the Tigers the nod over South Carolina, which fell 11 spots following its upset loss to Vanderbilt.
