***REALIZED i FORGOT TO PLUG IN BYU in my Top 25 >> will correct in my WEEK #9 thread 

-did the same thing last week when ND lost 

Sports Illustrated AP Top 25 Prediction:

- don't think ND should be that high > >> throttled Wisconsin/ lost to BYU 

- UCLA should be at #5 or #6 >> probably won't stay there but beat > beat Oregon, Wisconsin 

- Indiana >> right where they belong

- Utah >> top BIG12 team dislodged (Texas Tech) >> now they step up beating a high level Houston team 

- BYU >> about right 

*** Ole Miss too high >> so you win a home game vs higher ranked LSU in an emotional game >> don't have the same defense as LSU for Playoff! Can't beat Texas, you should be below TEXAS!

-Boise should be HIGHER whether you believe they should be in or not >> as highest ranked Power 6 team

-USC should not be in TOP 25 anymore ....dogs breakfast every other week it seems
