Updated Power Rankings (and a mind-boggling outcome) after the break.
Texas Tech dropped 10 points in the Power Rankings after its loss on the road to second ranked UT - the largest fall in the polls among Big 12 teams.
Meanwhile USC dropped just 9 points after its pathetic performance against unranked Washington.
Did anyone actually watch the game?
Does anyone credibly believe that UCLA (which struggled to win over ULL defeated Kansas State at home), or Kentucky, West Virginia, Washington, South Florida or Notre Dame are actually better teams?
Meanwhile, OSU’s lackluster win over Rice enables it to move up 1 spot to 17 and Missouri moves up 4 spots because of its win over Furman.
This ladies and gentlemen is the perfect of example of why teams decide not to schedule tough non-conference opponents, because they are disproportionately penalized for losses while wins over teams like Furman offer the opportunity to move up 2 to 3 points every week.
