The top seven spots in the BCS remained unchanged this week, in a rare moment of inertia during the turmoil that has been the 2007 college football season.
#1 Ohio State dispensed an emphatic 37-17 win on Penn State in Happy Valley, further cementing their hold on the top-ranked spot. The highest change was Kansas taking the #8 spot from Virginia Tech after Tech’s heartbreaking loss to Boston College on Thursday night.
Further down the AP Poll, however, the instability we’ve come to expect this year continued. Cinderella story USF lost for the second week in a row, Florida was defeated by Georgia in Jacksonville, Southern Cal went down to the one-loss Oregon Ducks, Kentucky lost for the third time in four weeks, Virginia suffered its first ACC loss at the hands of NC State, and South Carolina was taken out by Tennessee in overtime. Kentucky, California, Virginia, Penn State, and Rutgers dropped from the AP rankings, while Connecticut moved in for the first time in school history on the heels of their win over South Florida.
