12	Ole Miss Rebels
13	Alabama Crimson Tide
14	LSU Tigers
15	Ohio State Buckeyes	None of these rankings should be too contraversial this week except for this one, considering they just got dominated by USC, and I only have them at #19. I won't mince words—the Buckeyes looked like a shell of themselves. However, I'm gonna give them some grace for being on the road, with a freshman QB in his first start, and in the rain. Also, I'm reticent to shoot USC up too much based on this one game when they have been so inconsistent all year. The rest of the season will tell if this is the start of trends for OSU and USC, or if either team reverts to their old ways.
