AP drops BYU from 15 to 18
 

Week 2 rankings

East Carolina jumps from 27 to 14, taking the BCS lead.

Utah holds at 22.

UCLA falls from 23 to 26 with a bye.

I'm trying to remind myself that it doesn't matter.

This week, seemingly every top 25 team obliterated its competition. BYU didn't look that great against a weak PAC-10 team. And frankly, unless BYU improves, it will lose a game. No way you go undefeated when you leave receivers THAT open during the last game-determining drive. So all things said, the fact that they dropped probably doesn't matter.

But it still bugs me that we dropped after WINNING a game.

It wasn't just a bad performance against a bad team. Heck, BYU jumped from 16 to 14 after beating a 6-7 UCLA in the Vegas Bowl on a blocked kick. The controversy clearly has played a part in the drop, and given the astonishingly large number of people who apparently sincerely believe that Locker just tossed the ball over his shoulder, that bugs me just a bit.

But like I said, probably won't matter in the long run.

I think it's kind of funny that tOSU dropped two and they haven't even lost to USC yet.

Bucks by 3 Saturday. It's going to be a bad day for So Cal college football fans.

Nope. The Trojans only lose to teams like Stanford at home. They won't drop the ball on a big one like this.

Plus, did you see tOSU yesterday? It wasn't pretty.

Bollocks!

Yeah, that was classic Tressle ball yesterday. Win ugly. That's what they're going to do Saturday. Throw in the beating UCLA is going to take next Sunday will be sad place for So Cal college football fans.

Hey, I gotta admit I like the way you think. But with USC having an off-week to prepare, tOSU looking sloppy and having to play *at* USC, and the Pac-10 refs heading into the UCLA game getting so much publicity for "robbing" one of their own, I remain skeptical on both counts.

I do too. There won't be PAC-10 refs for the UCLA game though. Both USC and UCLA are coming off a bye. That has me more than a little concerned. OSU often looks very average before a big game so I'm not as concerned with that as I am about USC's overall great talent.

Early in the season, I'd rather have two games of experience than one game and a bye week. Experience>>>rest (plus an extra week of game prep) in the third week of the season.

Also, I fully expect BYU to pull out some stellar trick plays for this next game.
