I'm pleasantly surprised to see our boys at #7. I was particularly surprised to see LSU fall that far. Yeah they got creamed by Alabama, but the Tide are arguably on of the two best teams in the country right now (sure as hell isn't tOSU or Baylor). Same for Florida, although I hadn't thought about the negative impact a 9-7 win at home over a crappy Vanderbilt team can have.
Also surprised that our boys leapfrogged Iowa. The Hawkeyes haven't played as tough a schedule, but they've played some quality teams (Pitt, Northwestern, Wisconsin) and they did to Northwestern what Stanford just did to Colorado. I think you could pretty easily argue that Iowa is the best team in the B1G, not tOSU. tOSU has only beaten one team with a winning record (Penn St, at home).
