1. Texas Tech (10-0) - 7 straight possessions with a touchdown against OSU. It's scary how good this team is. (Last Week: 1)
2. Alabama (10-0) - I don't care what the score is, going into Death Valley and winning when not playing your best football is very impressive. (Last Week: 3)
3. Texas (9-1) - Better be careful not to overlook Kansas or A&M in their next two games, because we all know they'll be hoping Oklahoma beats Texas Tech in 2 weeks. (Last Week: 4)
4. Florida (8-1) - They'll get their shot vs Alabama in the national title game...but next up a matchup with their old ball coach - the Old Ball Coach. (Last Week: 5)
5. Oklahoma (9-1) - Their defense has given up 45, 31, 35, 28, and 28 in their last 5 games...they're an offensive juggernaut for sure, but can they make enough plays on defense in 2 weeks against the Red Raiders? (Last Week: 6)
6. USC (8-1) - My goodness, their defense is awesome. (Last Week: 7)
7. Penn State (9-1) - I like them but it's probably best this happened...there's no way these guys are as good as any of the top 6 on here. (Last Week: 2)
8. Boise State (9-0) - Getting closer and closer to a Fiesta Bowl sequel...I'd be happy to see them back in the BCS. (Last Week: 9)
9. Utah (9-0) - Honestly, the way that TCU game shaped up in the 4th quarter, they'll lose the majority of times, with the 2 short missed field goals and needing a 4th down conversion...but give the Utes credit for a gutsy win. (Last Week: 11)
10. Ohio State (8-2) - Looks like this will be the first year in a long time where the Buckeyes aren't BCS bound. Not that I'm complaining. (Last Week: 12)
11. Georgia (8-2) - Lucky to survive in Kentucky. Rhyme not intended. (Last Week: 13)
12. Oklahoma State (8-2) - Didn't play well offensively or defensively against Texas Tech. Usually not a good recipe for success. (Last Week: 8)
13. Missouri (8-2) - They've just about locked up the Big 12 North by now. (Last Week: 14)
14. TCU (9-2) - I feel really bad for their kicker...missing 26 and 35 yard attempts in the 4th when you lose by three? Ouch. (Last Week: 10)
15. Michigan State (9-2) - Beat Penn State and they're in the Rose Bowl, believe it or not. (Last Week: 15)
16. North Carolina (7-2) - Very good win against Georgia Tech. So the way the ACC's going, they'll probably lose next week. (Last Week: 19)
17. Ball State (9-0) - Another team who impressed on Saturday. Unless you're a fan of some obscure MAC team...who wouldn't wanna see these guys go undefeated? (Last Week: 21)
18. LSU (6-3) - They'd probably be a good 10 spots higher if they had a quality quarterback. By the way, Ball State is ranked ahead of the defending national champs. (Last Week: 17)
19. Brigham Young (9-1) - Their BCS hopes are shot, but they can still ruin Utah's in a couple weeks. (Last Week: 22)
20. Florida State (7-2) - Move up 3 spots, which is pretty timid for an ACC team this season. (Last Week: 23)
21. Arizona (6-3) - Won 59-28 at Washington State...so they played pretty poorly. (Last Week: 24)
22. Oregon State (6-3) - Win out and they're in the Rose Bowl. Can't you just imagine a Beavers/Spartans tilt? The TV ratings would be off the charts!!!!!!! (Last Week: NR)
23. Pittsburgh (7-2) - The Big East is pretty awful this year, but at least they looked pretty good this week. Even if Dave Wannstedt is still their coach. (Last Week: NR)
24. Cincinnati (7-2) - So much for West Virginia being the Big East favorite. Tony Pike broke his non-throwing arm and he's still playing, give the man some kudos. (Last Week: NR)
25. Tulsa (8-1) - I'll always wonder why they're the Golden Hurricane, not the Golden Hurricanes. Somebody please explain this to me. (Last Week: NR)
Dropped Out:
West Virginia (16), Georgia Tech (18), Maryland (20), California (25)
