Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Brigham Young (#16), Texas Tech (#19), South Florida (#24), Utah (#25).

 

I'm very comfortable with the Top 11 here, and after that, you can rearrange all you want.

Texas is where it is because its best three wins are against Oklahoma, Texas Tech (who just got blown out by Texas A&M) and @Missouri (winless in the Big XII).  Cincinnati's resume isn't substantially better, but they at least have the @Oregon State win in non-conference.  TCU is a solid third with wins @BYU, @Clemson, @Air Force and @Virginia.  The Longhorns can move up with a win in Stillwater Saturday.  Iowa perhaps has the resume for third (@PSU, Arizona, @Wisconsin, @MSU), but they're paying a little bit for the close calls, both Saturday night and in the Northern Iowa and Arkansas State games.

I like it

I think GT might be the best one loss team, especially if you are basing your rankings on resume.

TCU really has an impressive resume. It is a shame they will be shut out if they are the third undefeated team. They might be good.

4,5, and 6 are pretty interchangeable. I would probably do Iowa, Cinci, Tx, but any order could work. Everything after the top 10 will work itself out in the next couple weeks.
