17. Surprised me to see Oregon State at #10

I don't mean surprised at their success, they earned it. Surprised that the pollsters put them up there so soon.

I think where I am coming from is Arizona State isn't even ranked yet. They haven't defeated the same level of competition and have 1 loss but they are playing well on both sides, especially on defense. This defense is far better than the 2009 version. They also have an excellent power rating -- http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt12.htm

On edit - USA Today poll has Oregon State at more of what I expect of a non-traditional power at this point - 14. Not what I think they should be ranked 14.
