PrintDown go the Sooners! Down go the Badgers! Finally some movement at the top of the ballot after a mostly uneventful Saturday afternoon turned into a most eventful Saturday evening as both Oklahoma and Wisconsin lost, making their climb back up the poll a difficult task to have any shot at the national championship game. A few thoughts from the week:
- On the strength of another victory and the love from the computers, I hopped Oklahoma State over Boise State this week.
- Tough call between Arkansas and Oklahoma. Took the Razorbacks because the Sooners lost their game at home.
- Texas Tech jumped into the top 25 on the strength of the upset this weekend, but the Red Raiders will have to continue to play well to maintain that spot.
Ballot after the jump. Let me know what you think.

OU ranked over Wisconsin?
Badgers lost on the road by a fluke play..OU gets blown out by an unranked team at home..
Makes no sense..
I'd at least put Kansas State above OU
KSU beat Tech in Lubbock, OU was smashed at home.
Being undefeated and head-to-head against common opponents should count for something.
A little off topic
But what do you think of the SEC pushing to have more than 2 BCS qualifiers?
I think they are starting to push the envelope a bit too far and that other conferences may finally start pushing them back and rank them a bit lower since it is all so subjective anyway.
We're Texas, We're not OK.
So . . . we move from 25 to 22
by not playing anybody.
At that rate, we’d be Top 5 if we just kept playing Open Date the rest of the season.
I think Penn State and Houston are out of their class where you have them. Tough when you get past No. 17.
