there are at least 4 teams right above them that are all poised to lose this week, and we should get nebraska off our backs too. If we can put up some nice style points, 4 or 5 spots would not surprise me at all. Miss St (12), Ole Miss (11), Stanford or ND (9 or 14), and LSU (15). If ND lost a close one and we don't put up some nice style points, I could see us not passing them, but that's the reason for style points.
That's 4 spots though just by putting the dairy yewts in their place and that assumes that nothing strange happens either. If one of these teams pulls their upset, it needs to get offset by another team losing to a nonranked team. That said, 4 spots is about right for this week, so this is prime time for running up the score. Do it for McMahon!
