I like the AP since it doesn't have ties to the BCS and coaches don't vote for their conference. So lets take a look at where the cats may be or should be (assuming a top 15 team doesn't drop out of the standings).

15 Clemson (0) 4-0 615 20
Won 42-20 @ NC St

16 Alabama (0) 3-1 516 28
Lost 26-23 vs Georgia in OT

17 Virginia Tech (0) 3-1 458 18
Won 44-3 vs William & Mary

18 Louisville (0) 2-2 367 9
Lost 35-38 vs Syracuse

19 Hawaii (0) 4-0 343 24
Won 66-10 vs Charleston Southern

20 Texas A&M (0) 3-1 342 25
Lost 34-17 at Miami on Friday night.

21 Kentucky (0) 4-0 338 44
won 42-29 @ Arkansas

22 Georgia (0) 3-1 333 23
won 26-23 @ Alabama

23 South Florida (0) 3-0 285 26
Won 37-10 vs North Carolina

24 Nebraska (0) 3-1 277 14
Won 41-40 vs Ball State

25 Missouri (0) 4-0 228 27
Won 38-10 vs Illinois State

Others Receiving Votes:
Arkansas(1-2) 179;
Lost 29-42 vs Kentucky

Georgia Tech(2-2) 128;
Lost 23-28 @ Virginia

Arizona State(4-0) 69;
Won 44-32 vs Oregon State

Cincinnati(4-0) 53;
Won 40-14 vs Marshall

UCLA(3-1) 41;
Won 44-31 vs Washington

Texas Tech(3-1) 16;
Lost 45-49 @ Oklahoma St

Air Force(3-1)
Lost 31-6 @ BYU

Others of relevance
Michigan St won @ ND 31-14
Miami (FL) won 34-17 vs Texas A&M
Purdue won @ Minnesota 45-31

My prediction:
UC jumps ahead of Louisville, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech, Arkansas
UC is jumped by UCLA. Possibly jumped by Michigan St and Miami, but they only had 1 and 0 votes respectivly last week. Purdue also is going to be on our heels.

UC is 26th. I think we should be ranked, but I think it will be another week just outside.
