Patience. Swinging on USC's nutsack for posting such an improbable victory over an overmatched Hawaii team takes time. It may be Thursday before they actually climb down from there.
Look s like Georgia made the biggest jump: 4 spots. Miami is 14th, but with that defense and a few games under Wright's belt, there's about 10-12 teams ahead of them that are not as good.

Ohio State jumped up too far, but Texas and Ohio State play next weekend so we'll jump ahead of one of them.
