Thud! The final fallout from a disastrous opening weekend for Michigan came Tuesday, when the Wolverines dropped all the way out of The Associated Press Top 25, an unprecedented fall from No. 5 to unranked.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing whatsoever against the Florida Gators. But I so hoped Florida would be voted No. 3. Not that I have any fondness for Michigan. Like a lot of folks, I had no desire to see an Ohio State-Michigan rematch in the BCS title game.

Southern California is No. 1 in the polls and the BCS standings. The computers prefer Oklahoma. Auburn's victories over Georgia and Tennessee might be the season's two most impressive performances.
