Sorry, I couldn't resist showing that Appalachian State is one slot ahead of Michigan this week. Just as they should be...
So we have a new #1! Alabama has switched spots with LSU, dropping to #3 with LSU at the top spot. This weekend will tell a lot about who deserves to be #1 and who doesn't as LSU and Alabama battle it out. Ohio State also gained a full point despite staying at #2 but the margin is very close with LSU. I'd expect OSU to stay at #2 with a win no matter what happens with LSU/Alabama. Oklahoma and Penn State gained quite a bit of ground on the leaders this week as well, and Wisconsin dropped from 6 all the way to 14. There is also a massive drop from #6 to #7 as the undefeateds have clearly separated themselves from the 1 loss teams. Oregon also makes an appearance at #10.
Looking at the computer rankings, Ohio State is ranked #1 or #2 by all 6 computers and gained a point this week. LSU isn't far behind with 2 #1s, 2 #2s, and a #4 and #5, gaining 3 points this week there. Georgia, hilariously, isn't ranked by one of the computers despite being at 10 in 2 of them, with an average ranking of 17. They are just outside the top 10 at #11 this week.
Edit: I'm not sure why I thought LSU/Alabama was this weekend, so there's a chance we could jump to #1 this weekend if we win big. We're only a handful of poll votes away at this point, and a statement win over a quality opponent, even if diminished by their Illinois loss, would probably sway just enough of them.
