It's still way early in the season but after all those Big Ten losses (Iowa, OSU, Michigan), Virginia Tech has risen to number four in the AP rankings. I'm actually happy that we aren't number 3.
Flash back to 2003:
#3 USC loses to Cal
#3 Michigan loses to Oregon
#3 OSU loses to Wisconsin
#3 VT loses to West Virginia
In 2004, Georgia held the number three ranking until losing to Tennessee, when Auburn held onto the ranking for the rest of the year. They ended up getting passed over for the national championship game.
Now 2005 has already proved unlucky for #3 Michigan, who lost to NBC's sweetheart Notre Dame. LSU is the current #3, but they have to play Tennessee (probably at Tennessee) in two weeks. By the way, someone over at Sports Illustrated is apparently an ASU fan.
In other news, Temple is trying to set a record for most points allowed. In 2 games, they've been outscored 128 to 16.

You might also point out that Tennessee was Number 3 going into the season and barely managed to beat UAB (it took UAB dropping a touchdown pass in the end zone) to secure the victory.
They dropped a bit as a result last week - and are now #5.
