Here are my rankings for this week.  Thanks to Clark Jefcoat, who pointed
out that I had an error in Southern Mississippi's record, I did in fact
have their 38-21 win over East Carolina turned into a 21-38 loss.

No lengthy discussion this week of what goes into my algorithm.  Last week
I did that and no one seemed interested.  It is kind of stupid for people
on the net to complain about computer ratings and then have no comment on
the explanations.  I suppose people like to complain.

The top teams are bunched together closely enough that any of the top four
could be #1 next week.  A Miami win at Syracuse, especially a convincing
one would definitely move them ahead of idle FSU and Alabama.  Washington
could still hold off the Hurricanes with a win at Washington State.
