Football Poll-September 29, 2008

AP POLL for Week of September 29, 2008

I find the polls/rankings a hoot. USC loses to Oregon State and they drop from 1st to 9th in a flash. Then you have those Virginia Tech Hokies (I am not a fan) who beat out Nebraska last Saturday and are ranked. Go figure. On any day I will bet you dollars to donuts that any PAC-10 team can beat Virginia Tech hands down. I find it amazing that they manage to capture a top 25 ranking...simply amazing.
