The Coache Poll is giving OSU a lot more love than the AP, which is good because it counts in the BCS, but the Cowboys also moved up to #15 in the AP. With Kansas on the horizon, there's a really good chance for the Cowboys to move up in both, and that would mean the top 10 in the Coaches rankings.
Mull that possibility over while you attempt to reorganize your suddenly scrambled brain cells.
