Of course. But having the #2-#3 match up winner jump #1 in the AP Poll was not that far fetched of an idea going into the game.

but find me another time in college football in the last 20 years or so when the #1 team(usc) beat the #4 team(michigane) by 14+ pts and still dropped in the polls. It's not like usc squeaked by a 6-6 team. and just because LSU dominated oklahoma doesn't mean they would have done the same to USC, keep in mind oklahoma's previous performance against kansas state.
