My assessment: There should be a discussion about Tennessee and Indiana before us. Indiana hasn't beat any ranked teams and Tennessee lost to an unranked team. That may sort itself out as both play highly ranked teams in the closing weeks. With Indiana playing Ohio State, one of those should drop below us if we keep winning. Tennessee will probably have trouble with Georgia on the road.
If we keep winning, we should be top 5 by the end of the regular season.
