Entering the home stretch:
The Trojans and the Longhorns remain Nos. 1 and 2, and Penn State, LSU, Virginia Tech, and Ohio State all move up one spot due to Miami falling from No. 3 to No. 9 after losing to Georgia Tech. Oregon jumped from No. 10 to No. 7 after clobbering Oregon State, and the Fighting Irish improved by one position. Auburn rounds out the top ten.
The Tennessee Volunteers round out the top 117, and some players are behaving badly.
Games remaining that either will or could impact the Race:
- Texas at Texas A&M, November 25, 2005 (12:00, ABC)
- UCLA (12) at USC (1), December 3, 2005 (4:30, ABC)

Rounding the final corner:
Virginia Tech drops, but not by much, after getting thrashed by Miami, Georgia re-enters the Race, and Oregon’s putrid yellow and green breaks the top ten.
Games remaining that either will or could impact the Race:
- USC at California, November 12, 2005
- LSU at Alabama, November 12, 2005 (3:30, CBS, maybe)
- Texas at Texas A&M, November 25, 2005 (12:00, ABC)
- UCLA at USC, December 3, 2005 (4:30, ABC)

Even as the Tennessee Volunteers have come up lame, stumbled, fallen, fallen, and fallen out of the Top 25 altogether, the Race to the Rose Bowl goes on.
Georgia drops out of the top ten after losing to the Gators, and USC takes over the top spot it lost last week to the Longhorns.
Tonight’s game between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Miami Hurricanes is huge. Plus, there are still a lot of games that either will or could impact the Race:
- USC at California, November 12, 2005
- LSU at Alabama, November 12, 2005 (3:30, CBS, maybe)
- Texas at Texas A&M, November 25, 2005 (12:00, ABC)
- Florida State at Florida, November 26, 2005 (3:30, CBS)
- UCLA at USC, December 3, 2005 (4:30, ABC)
