Oklahoma State lost a ton of production from the defensive side.

Lost their top rusher, and top 2 receivers.

Spencer Sanders is a 15th year returner at qb, who has a propensity for throwing the ball to the other team.

They may win it all, but the chances are Kentucky will win the SEC before OSU wins the BIG XII.

They were in my possibles until I looked at what they lost from last year. They still might creep back in down the road.

Looks like the only glaring mistake is you should've swapped FL with Utah.

Do my eyes deceive me but Wisconsin actually has a passing game. They finally found an offensive coordinator and QB coach to help their 5 star QB. They've always been a passing attack away from a championship game. Let's see if they can at least make the final four with this new found passing attack.

"at least make the final four"? lol They have to get by Minnesota first, and then OSU? don't see any "at least" there, for either UW or UMn. Best for the better of the two is to just get into the Top Ten.

Are you dropping Bama out of the top 25 after refs bailed them out to beat an unranked team?

No, they'll all just move Texas way up. I'd say Bama should drop out of the Top Ten, but they'll only drop below the obvious big names, Georgia will be the new #1, OSU #2, Michigan #3 & Clemson #4, but that may be all the farther Bama falls with #6 TAM struggling and #8 Notre Dame losing big right now. Oklahoma with a big win could move ahead of them, MAYBE?! I mean, Bama did win, so they might not fall much at all?!

I probably should have dropped Utah further, but I took into consideration the travel situation & the fact that the game might have gone the other way had Florida been the travel team. Plus, I didn't see too many teams that I thought Florida should move ahead of.

I don't see Wisconsin dropping less than two conference games, so that precludes them getting into the national playoffs.

@OSU, @MSU, vs Purdue and vs Minnesota. My prediction, 5-4 for the Badgers.

Even if you didn't have the Gophers ranked, and you have them about where I'd rank them, I'd still have to say, good job. Everything I bitched about when the AP poll came out you seem to have fixed.

UCLA struggled early vs. Bowling Green and needed a field goal as time expired to beat South Alabama and you have them in your top 10.

Are they even in "others receiving votes" in the AP or Coaches polls?

Blink twice if you are being held hostage by someone who knows nothing about football and are being forced to post these rankings.....

I had planned to demote the Bruins further after their close call against the Jaguars, but so many other teams that were ranked near them lost, I just didn't have anywhere to move them to.
