WEEK 12 COLLEGE FOOTBALL RANKINGS

BCS, Coach's Poll, Harris, and the AP although it doesn't mean much in the big scheme of things.

Here's the BCS...

Baylor is oh so close to the promised land. A loss in Stillwater would be really rough. OSU is a top 10 team.

Texas finally makes an appearance. OU takes a HUGE drop after the loss to Baylor, but is still ranked ahead of Texas, who kicked their ass and has the same overall record and is undefeated in conference play. That's why these things make absolutely no sense sometimes.
