1. LSU (6-0)
2. Ohio State (6-0)
3. California (5-0)
4. Oklahoma (5-1)
W, Texas 28-21
next game: Missouri
The Ranking Should Be Higher Because … there’s still a theory that the Sooners are as loaded as anyone in the country, and if everything comes together, could beat anyone in America. As long as the team doesn’t blow it, it could be in the national title picture again very soon thanks to the USC loss.
The Ranking Should Be Lower Because ... the Miami win doesn’t look like any big deal right now, while struggling to beat Texas, even in a rivalry game, doesn’t earn too many points. Heck, UCF came close to beating the burnt orange.
5. Missouri (5-0)
W, Nebraska, 41-6
next game: at Oklahoma
The Ranking Should Be Higher Because … beating Illinois now looks like a really, really big deal. That wasn’t just a beating of Nebraska this week; that was total and complete annihilation. A win against the Sooners this week would get national title talk going.
The Ranking Should Be Lower Because ... is this team for real? Haven’t we done this the last few years? Actually, this is exactly where it should be. There are few weaknesses if it plays as well as it did against the Huskers. However, beating up Nebraska might not be anything to write home about right now.

W, at Kansas State, 30-24
next game: Baylor
The Ranking Should Be Higher Because … you wanted to see what KU would do, and it showed you. Kansas State had the momentum, it had the crowd, it had everything apparently going its way, but the Jayhawks came though in the fourth quarter.
The Ranking Should Be Lower Because ... it shouldn’t be. This is about right. The offense is playing well, while the defense did a great job against the Wildcat running game. Bigger tests are ahead.
16. Wisconsin (5-1)

21. Florida State (4-1)
22. Kentucky (5-1)
23. Kansas State (3-2)
L, Kansas, 30-24
next game: Colorado
The Ranking Should Be Higher Because … winning at Texas is still impressive, and the team proved it was good enough to come this close to beating Auburn. The defense, despite its problems with Kansas late, is good enough to beat almost anyone in the Big 12.
The Ranking Should Be Lower Because ... KU shut down the running game. If the Wildcats aren’t generating turnovers and coming up with big plays on special teams, they’re going to have big problems beating the better teams without some ground support.
24. Texas (4-2)
L, Oklahoma, 28-21
next game: at Iowa State
The Ranking Should Be Higher Because … if you believe Oklahoma is a top ten caliber team, or higher, then you have to give more respect to a Texas team that played well in Dallas. Colt McCoy is playing as gutty as any quarterback in America.
The Ranking Should Be Lower Because ... the offensive line is getting McCoy killed. There wasn’t much going for the running game against OU, and the receivers, for the most part, continue to struggle to help out the cause.
