It would be silly to jump OU three slots for sitting at home; then again, not playing at all is probably the most impressive those chuckleheads have looked all season long. And as you said, allowing UC to get that close to one of the top 4 seats with so many weeks left to play will make their Big Conference bosses much too fidgety.

I'll go ahead and throw out a prediction that ND actually jumps MSU and Michigan based on our H2H result versus Purdue Pete compared to the Spartans, who were just felled by the same opponent. I don't expect to be right about this and don't believe it matters nearly as much as simply winning out and letting the chips fall where they may. But it does make a certain amount of sense.
