As might be expected, Texas Tech’s blowout loss to Oklahoma had some impact on the voting. The Sooners have climbed into a four way tie for first. Overall, there’s a great deal of consolidation in our minds all the way down to the thirteenth slot, but with this week’s slate of rivalry games and next week’s conference championships, I don’t believe all of that will last.

COMMENTS:
- We lost two voters and one ranking spot this week, as only seventeen schools received votes. There’s a huge drop from 13th to 14th in the number of votes.
- If Oregon State beats Oregon this weekend, I expect the Beavers will jump up in our rankings, based on many of your comments.
- Lots of indecision about Georgia’s merit, but almost everyone cast a vote for the Dawgs in the end.
- No LSU this week.
- Penn State got some top five love this time around. JoePa thanks you.
- Utah was left off of one ballot, but received five top five votes on the others.
