four of which lost by multiple scores, three of which will have worse records than BYU which put a beat down on a quality opponent in its bowl, one of which lost at home to BYU.

So even without other movement ahead of them BYU will move to #12. Would be REAL nice if Michigan could pop Bama, but I wouldn't bet on it. Illinois beating S. Carolina is also probably unlikely but who knows.

If we hope to crack the top 10 the other options are for Boise or ASU to get pulverized in their matchups causing them to plummet.

Lots of unforeseeables. As it stands I think we'll at least get to #11 (which would tie our highest finish this century, sad as that is) with high end of #9.
