Between Auburn, Florida State and Stanford (all of which have the same record, 8-3), which is the only team to have defeated another team currently in the top 25?  Correct, Stanford.

Yet Auburn is 13, FSU is 14, Stanford is 24. I hope that this anomaly can be corrected by the Committee in the final rankings.

My guess is the committee recognizes that Stanford beat Under Stanford Control (again) before the quarterback switch. That was an entirely different team. I'm not as familiar with Auburn and FSU's schedules, but we got lucky this year facing Under Stanford Control (again) so early.

Stanford had 300 yards rushing vs. U.SC.  The QB switch would not have changed that success. If Week 14 Stanford played Week 14 U.SC, I still think Stanford would win.  I can understand U.SC being ranked higher than Stanford since their best win is more impressive than Stanford's best win. But I don't understand the 12 place gap between 12 and 24.
