I would assume Texas would move up, as would Texas Tech, but I don’t think it will happen.

I expected Tech to fall further after barely getting by Baylor in Lubbock yesterday.

There was a THREE way tie, not two. Head-to-head-to-head was taken into account.

Doesn’t #2 from the Big 12 go to the Fiesta Bowl?

How come a team the Kutztown State can beat gets nat’l coverage every week?

Because they're Notre Dame. It ticks me off too, but their fans and boosters have lots of money to waste on lousy teams and will sell out a bowl game no matter where it is.

Penn State is going to the Rose Bowl. They’re short of undefeated by one single lousy point on the road.

Boise State beat Okalahoma in a year where they were one bad call from being number one in the nation.

This is BSU team is at least as good, if not better than that one.

So, your assertion that BSU should not be in the top ten is pure Bravo Serra...or BS! LOL!

LOL - someone says that the end of every November, it seems.

Barely? Baylor never scored after the second quarter. Besides, Baylor has improved a lot this year - they have an amazing QB - they are going to beat more than a few teams next year.

Nearly doesn't matter in football or pregnancy.

Oklahoma only graduates 46 percent of its athletes.
Texas only graduates half of its athletes.
Texas Tech graduates 76 percent of its athletes.

Texas Tech is the better School!

It accounted for 10 points. A 3way gets a little more complicated. Our fallback is point spreads in Head to Head and common opponents not even close.

Why does OU outscore everyone? Because we have to.

Raider, the other thread got locked as it came after this one, if you wanted to ping the college football list.

Thanks!
