We are now what I would say a fairly significant way through the season - half way through the schedules of many teams and a start to the conference season at least.

I saw SU was hovering in the low 30's for some time after the back-to-back losses at home.  I didn't look after the GT loss but did after the Duke..

SU is currently sitting at #35 - not too bad considering some of our losses and solid road wins.  I am looking at some of the teams ahead of us and scratching my head at what it takes for some teams to drop in the rankings.  For instance the following teams are currently ranked above SU:

#35 SU 12-5           Off 77 Def 13
#32 Indiana 12-5   Off 41 Def 33
#28 Texas 10-7!!!   Off 47 Def 18
#24 Florida 9-7!!!   Off 80 Def 8
#23 Louisville 11-5 Off 15 Def 61
#16 Wisconsin 11-6!! Off 30 Def 14
#13 Purdue 11-6!!    Off 6 Def 70

I know strength of schedule and many other factors go into and it looks like offense is clearly valued over defense but just wondering what does it take for some of these teams to drop - eventually you have to win some games right - I mean 9-7?
