Once again, the supposedly best game of the night was a blow out with Texas beating Missouri 56-31.  The Texas Longhorns have shown they are one of the best teams in the country, and Colt McCoy is on fire as a QB.  He has just become extremely explosive as the QB for the Longhorns.  Ohio State has put itself back in the national picture with a 45-7 thumping of previously unbeaten Michigan State.  Ole Miss scared Alabama, mostly with a great second half performance against an uninspired Tide (in the second half that is).  The BCS darlings, the BYU Cougars, got thumped in Fort Worth by TCU, 32-7.  Michigan made its game with Penn State in Happy Valley interesting until the third quarter.  However, it was mostly teams taking care of business this week.  BYU was the only top ten team to lose.  Here are the new polls.

CFTT Top Ten

1.  Oklahoma, 6-1
The Sooners bounced back from their loss to Texas with a solid win over Kansas.   Next, the Sooners look to win the Kansas State championship as they travel to Manhattan to play Kansas State.

2.  Alabama, 7-0
The young players still have trouble with focus, but then again, who doesn’t.  The can play uninspired and mistake proned football sometimes.  And, then, they can be very dominate.  DT Terrency Cody went down with an knee injury, and the Tide hopes that he does only miss a couple of weeks.  Next up, at Tennessee.

3.  Missouri, 5-2
The Tigers failed to bounce back from the their loss to Oklahoma State, and now, they are danger of not winning the Big 12 North.  Next, Mizzou  hosts Colorado.

The Horns have two impressive wins in a row including one after becoming ranked number one.  Next, the Longhorns get the red hot Oklahoma State Cowboys at home.

Penn State just keeps winning, and they make it look impressive.  Next up for the Lions, the Horseshoe and Ohio State.

7.  USC, 5-1
The Trojans have bounced back from the letdown against Oregon State with impressive wins over Oregon and Washington State.  USC is making a case for getting back into the national picture.  The Trojans play at Arizona next.

8.  Texas Tech, 7-0
The Red Raiders took the Aggies’ best shot at Kyle Field and pulled away with a comfortable win.  Next, the Raiders travel to Lawrence to play the Kansas Jayhawks.
