COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 13 POLL UPDATES

The Cowboys are back in an area of the polls we never thought they would be after what appears to have been this season's version of 2011 Iowa State. Now a showdown with a top 4 team in the nation awaits, and it just so happens that is Baylor. Nope, that is not a typo.

The Big 12 is down to three in all the polls, and that may drop to two if OU gets Snydered. Baylor is whining because they didn't jump Ohio State, except in the meaningless AP poll (which has 2 two-loss teams ahead of OSU). Completely justified as Baylor's history of grand football tradition is....well....ok, just forget I said anything. Sorry People of the Tarp, you don't get to jump tOSU this week.

The AP, which means squat, mostly because it doesn't figure into anything important, but also due to the fact that it still has OSU ranked behind two 2 loss teams...
