A Google question...I've never seen this before

You answered this yourself without realizing it.

For some reason, google changed the way this site is listed on some of the data centers to show it without the www....which is what I always wanted (that version has more backlinks and a higher page rank).

The fact that this version has more backlinks while I am sure your outbound links are mostlt at the www version has allowed the other to surface higher.

Anyway, the reason for my post was to see if this had ever happened to anyone else, or if anyone had any theories as to why this happened now.

The Florida shake up worked hardest on linking. Your other www listing has recips which have been down played and so most probably do the competition... you floated up by having links to you without the www, a nice piece of luck.
