Kevin's Top 25 - Week 12

1. Texas Tech (10-0) - Had the week off to get ready for the showdown in Norman. (Last Week: 1)
2. Alabama (11-0) - Finally beat Mississippi State...they better not overlook the Iron Bowl though. (Last Week: 2)
3. Florida (9-1) - Playing better than anybody in the country right now, without question. (Last Week: 4)
4. Texas (10-1) - They played fine this week...Florida's just played better. (Last Week: 3)
5. Oklahoma (9-1) - Scored 40 points in their bye week. (Last Week: 5)
6. USC (9-1) - Wasn't always pretty, but they got their revenge on Stanford. (Last Week: 6)
7. Penn State (10-1) - Another dominant defensive showing against Indiana...beat MSU and they'll be smelling roses. (Last Week: 7)
8. Boise State (10-0) - Unfortunately for them, their BCS chances are contingent on Utah losing last week. It's hard to see two mid-majors getting in to a BCS bowl. (Last Week: 8)
9. Utah (11-0) - Their mission is simple...beat BYU at home and go to a BCS bowl. (Last Week: 9)
10. Ohio State (9-2) - Anyone wanna guess the spread against Michigan? 30 points? (Last Week: 10)
11. Georgia (9-2) - Survived by the skin of their teeth for a second straight week. (Last Week: 11)
12. Oklahoma State (9-2) - Kicked field goals of 18, 25, and 21 yards...need to convert better inside the red zone. (Last Week: 12)
13. Missouri (9-2) - Clinched the Big 12 North, so they'll get their chance to spoil someone's national title hopes. (Last Week: 13)
14. TCU (9-2) - Had a bye, and I have nothing else to say here. (Last Week: 14)
15. Michigan State (9-2) - The only way they can make the Rose Bowl is if they beat Penn State (possible) and Michigan beats Ohio State (physically impossible). Good run though. (Last Week: 15)
16. Ball State (10-0) - A 31-16 win at Miami (Ohio) doesn't really impress me. They'll get a chance to do that at Central Michigan next week in a huge matchup. (Last Week: 17)
17. Brigham Young (10-1) - Nice win at a tough Air Force team...now it's on to Utah to decide the Mountain West title. (Last Week: 19)
18. LSU (7-3) - I don't know what's more amazing, the fact that they were trailing 31-3 at home to Troy in the 3rd, or the fact that they won. (Last Week: 18)
19. Oregon State (7-3) - Very nice win against Cal...they're two wins away from the Rose Bowl. Seriously. (Last Week: 22)
20. Pittsburgh (7-2) - Not sure if they're better than Cincinnati, but... (Last Week: 23)
21. Cincinnati (8-2) - ...we'll find out when Pitt visits Cincy next week. (Last Week: 24)
22. Oregon (8-3) - Lit up the scoreboard against Arizona last week. Now they can rest for the Civil War in two weeks. (Last Week: NR)
23. Central Michigan (8-2) - They don't win by much, but I have to put them ahead of Western Michigan because of the head-to-head win. They can prove they should stay here if they beat Ball State this week. (Last Week: NR)
24. Iowa (7-4) - I'm grasping for straws at this point. (Last Week: NR)
25. Maryland/Florida State/Wake Forest/Boston College/Miami/Georgia Tech/North Carolina/Virginia Tech - I give up. (if I have to pick one...Maryland, who was NR last week)

Dropped Out: (16) North Carolina, (20) Florida State, (21) Arizona, (25) Tulsa
