After a dominating performance against an overmatched Maryland Team, the Bears moved up two spots in the AP Rankings, grabbing the tenth spot in the Top 10.
The Bears also benefited from a number of upsets and Top 10 losses this weekend, including Oklahoma's shocker to BYU, and Georgia and Virginia Tech's losses to Oklahoma State and Alabama respectively.
Most of the Top 10 is about where I expected it to be. The only eyebrow raiser is BYU's huge jump to the ninth spot, but a bit more understandable given their win over last year's National Title Game contender.
There are also no other Pac-10 Teams in the Top 25 other than USC, after Oregon's debacle against Boise State. Oregon State is on the outside looking in after their lobsided win over Portland State, and could break into the Top 25 with a win over UNLV, and most certainly if they can knock off Cincinatti the week after.

What did Mississippi, Penn State, and Ohio State do to earn a higher ranking than Cal? Oh, do you mean to tell me that Cal can't jump over teams that win their game because they were ranked higher before any games were played? WTH?
It's lopsided, with a "p." This isn't tennis or crustaceans...sheesh!
Preseason rankings are too much of a head scratcher to really try and sort out this early on. Wait a few weeks, months even, and all teams will have enough of a chance to prove their spots.
Anony...sorry I'm too lazy to change it.
