17	Illinois Fighting Illini	336
18	Oklahoma State Cowboys	286
19	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	277 // ND and the ACC teams in the 20s are ranked because LSU beat Ole Miss. And also lost to FSU. There's a mini-Circle-of-Suck between these ACC teams and ND. LSU's win over Ole Miss looks really good to the computer since they're the only team to beat an 8-win team. FSU's win over LSU's win looks really good because LSU looks really good. And that makes the mini-Circle-of-Suck look like a Circle of Luck. Once one of these teams loses another game, all of them will sink.
