Controversy
TCU jumped above Texas this week to claim the number 1 spot. If you saw Gameday, you would know that a blind measure of these two schools by the numbers would show more impressive victories for TCU than for Texas. However, this is a somewhat odd result given Texas’ blowout win over Kansas. TCU has definitely gotten a bump from Clemson’s continued success, while Oklahoma’s blowout loss hurt Texas. Texas still has two games to play- and a significant win over Nebraska could bump them ahead again.
What I LIke
Penn St over Iowa. You can hold on to head to head if you want. I can tell you that Penn State has lost to better teams and struck more decisive victories. Oregon in the Top 10- it might have been a close win last night, but they keep finding ways to win.
What I Don’t Like
BYU at 12 and Oklahoma St at 13. Neither seems to be impressive right now, and even some early season wins are losing their luster. Both are okay teams, but they should be down around 20- and hopefully by the end of the regular season they will be.
Note: here is where the ranking gets interesting. The Big 10 is done- but there numbers will continue to change as people win and lose. Meanwhile other teams have some of their toughest games of the year.
