Utes win again. This was probably the most important game on our schedule if we wanted a shot at the PAC 12 championship and we won it with class. We still have some difficult matchups, but they're against North Division teams, so at least our tiebreakers are in place. The win moves Utah to 30th, 2nd among PAC 12 teams, none of which make the top 25.
Georgia is the obvious #1. I don't know that any ranking system could possibly refute this at the moment. The rest of the top 10 is a bit debatable. My system here is much less complimentary to Oklahoma and Michigan St than others, like the Marble Game, and much kinder to non-P5 schools like Cincy, whom I have at #3. I don't think I believe Cincy is the 3rd best team in the country, but based on their performance thus far, that's what the math suggests.
Purdue had the biggest move (+42) thanks to the win over Iowa. K St and Florida both fell 24 positions.
