All the polls are irrelevant until the Selection Committee releases its first Top 25 on October 28th, but I want with USA Today over AP. They're pretty much the same anyway. AP liking Michigan State and East Carolina a little less is pretty much the only difference in the Top 20 and they have the same 25 teams.
Top 5 were only undefeateds entering this week other than Marshall. 2-loss teams in the poll entering this week were Stanford, Texas A&M, Clemson and USC.
1. Mississippi State - DNP
2. Florida State - Win vs #5 Notre Dame (31-27)
3. Ole Miss - Win vs Tennessee (34-3)
4. Baylor - Loss @ West Virginia (27-41)
5. Notre Dame - Loss @ #2 Florida State (27-31)
===============================
6. Auburn - DNP
7. Alabama - Win vs #21 Texas A&M (59-0)
8. Michigan State - Win @ Indiana (56-17)

Others who are probably knocking on the door after this week and could move in (Stanford, Texas A&M and probably Okie Lite drop out): UCLA (5-2 after Win @ Cal 36-34),WVU (5-2 after that Baylor win), Minnesota (6-1), Duke (6-1), LSU (6-2 after rolling Kentucky), Missouri (5-2 after Win @ Florida 42-13)
