So don't be entirely surprised if they "magically" are propelled into the top 10 after defeating mighty Duke.
Here's my guess how the coaches poll will look:
1. OSU 3-0
2. Auburn 3-0
3. Southern Cal 2-0
4. West Virginia 3-0
5. Florida 3-0
6. Georgia 3-0
7. Michigan 3-0
8. Texas 2-1
9. Louisville 3-0
10. Virginia Tech 3-0
11. Notre Dame 2-1
12. LSU 2-1
13. Iowa 3-0
14. Oregon 3-0
15. TCU 3-0
16. Arizona State 3-0
17. Alabama 3-0
18. BC 3-0
19. Florida St 2-1
20. Tenn 2-1
21. Cal 2-1
22. Penn State 2-1
23. Oklahoma 2-1
24. Clemson 3-0
25. Boise State 3-0
Unfortunately, I think Rutgers will be just outside....
26. Rutgers 3-0
The poll voters will not move up West Virginia or Louisville yet. Their biases are still in effect. One of either Michigan or Florida will jump the Mountaineers. Virginia Tech will enter the Top Ten, Notre Dame will only drop to #10, and LSU will only drop to #11. You also forgot Clemson's loss to BC.
