Three teams that would be ranked if they were named
Southern Cal, Auburn or Florida:
Vandy
Cal
Duke
Compare Cal and USC based on three game performance: Trojans slip by Texas team that was thumped by Maryland, beat a Stanford that loses to SDSU, and Western Mich. Cal beats NC on the road, Weber State and Ole Miss. USC is ranked 5 and Cal gets a handful of votes.
Vandy, Cal and Duke combined don't get enough votes to crack top 25 despite being 9-0 overall, 5-0 over power 5 and 1-0 over ranked.
I'm not saying all three will end season in top 25, but would not be surprised if any one of them did.
