Thoughts:

1) Spooky!;
2) Some pretenders went down. Ho-hum;
3) Auburn and Oregon can't play defense;
4) Boise State and TCU can.

Rankings:

1) Oregon -- They can outscore anyone, obviously;
2) TCU -- It's hard to argue with their defense;
3) Auburn -- See Oregon above;
4) Boise State -- I still think they're most well-rounded team in the country;

13) LSU -- Hello, Peach Bowl;
14) Oklahoma State -- That Gundy rant seems like a distant memory now;
15) Michigan State -- Whoops!;
16) Wisconsin -- If two Big Ten teams get a BCS bid, the Badgers might get left out;
17) Nevada -- They will be big boys in the WAC next year;
18) Iowa -- How did they lose at home to Wisconsin?;
19) Arkansas -- Second-tier SEC teams don't impress anyone;
20) South Carolina -- Ibid;
21) Mississippi State -- Ibid;
