There was quite a bit of shuffling at the top of the ESP this week (as always a comparison to the BCS is here). Florida dropped a spot after a rather unconvincing win over South Carolina while Alabama jumped two spots to take over at the top. Texas remained number two with TCU, Cincinnati, Boise State, Georgia Tech, Ohio State and Pittsburgh rounding out the top nine and LSU and Oregon tied at 10.

Alabama also holds the top spot in the AV Ranking but Florida has lost some luster according to the computer algorithms. The Gators are down at number five, two spots below their ranking last week. The rest of the top 10 is a list of the usual suspects.

The Irish only drop to number 40 (down from 37) after their close loss to Pittsburgh. The Irish currently have the 24th ranked schedule and 42nd ranked TPR. Next up for Notre Dame are the Huskies from Connecticut who come in at 49th in the AV Ranking having played the sixth toughest slate of teams.
