There were some upsets in week 8. Who would have expected USC to lose and UCLA win? Now that all of the teams have played at least 6 games, we have a much better feel for each team. Michigan is definitely not the team they were last year, and neither is Indiana-but in completely different directions.
Polls
After Texas lost to Georgia, Oregon moved atop both polls. And there remains 3 Big Ten teams in the top 5 in both polls. Indiana and Illinois are the only other Big Ten teams remain in the top 25 in both polls after both Michigan and Nebraska lost.
