As I write, I'm watching Andrew Luck finally get his chit together in the 2nd half, and it looks like Stanford will avoid being another top 10 victim this week. The same cannot be said for 4 of my other Top 10s from last week. I'll keep the commentary short for most of the winners to save room for the upsets.
But who deserves the title game?

Scandal Subsides, Football is Played - Top 25 11/13/11
I'm posting from abroad (Nebraska) today, so I'll keep it short and sweet. With a different channel lineup, there was less focus on the SEC games and more focus on the Big XII. Also, I had the opportunity to watch a full game featuring the Pac-12 since LSU v. Oregon in week 1.
Here's what this weekend taught me. Kansas State is better than I thought. Texas is worse than I thought. I was right about Oregon. Boise State still doesn't deserve National Championship consideration...and should focus on kicking more than trick plays.
Now, where does that leave us?

The Big 12
With all the talk of the craziness in the Big Ten, I thought I'd wander a bit and focus on the Big 12.
If you've been reading the blog (or not) you're aware that Kansas is really good. You might also have heard since being annointed the #1 team in the country Texas is 2-5. Unfortunately the rest of the conference has taken a back seat to these noteworthy performances.
Here are the standings as of 2/10/10:

Here are the standings as of 2/10/10:
| Conf. | Overall | |||
| Kansas | 23 | 1 | 9 | 0 |
| Kansas St. | 19 | 4 | 6 | 3 |
| Texas A&M | 17 | 6 | 6 | 3 |
| Missouri | 17 | 6 | 5 | 3 |
| Texas | 19 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
| Baylor | 17 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Oklahoma St. | 16 | 7 | 4 | 5 |
| Texas Tech | 16 | 7 | 4 | 5 |
| Oklahoma | 13 | 10 | 4 | 5 |
| Iowa St. | 13 | 10 | 2 | 6 |
| Nebraska | 13 | 10 | 1 | 7 |
| Colorado | 11 | 12 | 2 | 7 |
- Kansas is truly an elite team as they rank second in both adjusted (tempo-free) offense and defense. They've nearly locked up a one seed and have to be the favorite to earn the number one overall seed.
- Kansas St. now has to be considered the second best team in the conference. With wins over Xavier and on the road at UNLV they have a decent non-conference resume. If there were still doubters after starting 17-3, taking Kansas in OT should have convinced them this team is for real. They are currently sitting in the 2-4 seed range.
