With how incredibly inconsistent they are with their justifications given for different teams, I could see them dropping Miami and Georgia below BYU but awarding Bama and maybe even Notre Dame for their big blowout wins, regardless of how much FSU sucks this year and say that BYU had to rely on a "controversial" last minute call to survive and come back to beat a middling Utah team.

But they could just as well hold Notre Dame down a notch below BYU for the loss they still had vs NIU earlier in the year and they can feel good about giving us a little bone by promoting BYU up a spot. So 8 it will be. Bama will jump us for their blowout win at LSU and land at 7, while Indiana gets the benefit of moving up two spots to 6 on account of the Miami and Georgia losses.
