Didn't LSU have 19 first place votes last week? What happened? I didn't think USC's big win over a 7th-8th (likely) place Pac10 team like WSU merits 11 more 1st place votes this week - and I'm a Trojan homer. Wait a sec - it appears they went to other teams like OU and FL.

 

I'm surprised that 4 voters gave those to FL, after almost getting beat by lowly Miss in their first roadie. Given that logic, how does WVU end up with none? Strange stuff.....

 

Edit: sorry, they had 8 last week and 11 the week before, when USC didn't play. And 3 of FL's 1st place votes went to the Sooners. Nevermind...
