Yes, an idle Arkansas went up 6.27 points. Texas win on Kansas State had some to do with it, but Tulsa beating Hawaii 27-16 and themselves rocketing up 25.83 points (from #72 to #48) had much more effect.

Miami-Florida's drop was not only due to skating by West Virginia by only 2, but also 3 of their 4 other opponents lost this week and Boston College's win over Ball State didn't impress the spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet also wasn't impressed with Northern Illinois's overtime performance against Ohio, and Iowa State's beating by Oklahoma combined with Alabama's loss resulted in an 8.49 point drop. Without that drop, these Huskies would have been #9.

Tennessee's loss to Auburn plummeted them from #7 to #26, while it raised Auburn from #89 to #59. If Auburn turn out to be nearly the team the pre-season hype had them, Tennessee should recover quickly with Auburn wins, causing the loss to lessen.

National Championship Race (* denotes undefeated):

Mostly control own destiny: Oklahoma*, Miami-FL*, Virginia Tech*, Ohio State*, Florida State*, Arkansas*, LSU*, Nebraska*, Minnesota*

Need help (eliminated on next loss): Northern Illinois*, TCU*, Georgia, Washington State, Southern Cal, Iowa, Texas, Purdue, Washington, Michigan State, Tennessee

Kiss goodbye: Air Force, Louisville, Michigan, Oregon

Elimination Games:
10/11 - Oklahoma v Texas @ Dallas

OU - very good chance of goin all the way.
Miami FL - Will lose to Florida State next week
VA Tech - Might just go all the way
OSU - WILL get beat at least once
FSU - Has a decent chance
Arkansas - I predict at least 2 losses
LSU - no way!
Nebraska - will lose against UT.
Minnesota - I dont know enough to comment.

Teams that shouldnt be in the top 20 :

Louisiana State
Miami-OH
UNLV
TCU
Kansas

They will for sure drop out as season progresses.
