Week 12 starts early with a Tuesday night game between Ball State and Miami of Ohio so it's time to look at the polls and this week's opponents again.
With Penn State’s loss to Iowa, there is a new pecking order at the top of the charts. And with Texas Tech’s dominating victory, there’s even a bit of a question as to who is Number One. As usual there is some shake up at the bottom of the Top 25 rankings as well. West Virginia (20/23/24) disappears—for this week—as do California (21/22/22), Georgia Tech (22/20/20), Maryland (23/21/21), and Northwestern (NR/25/NR) while Cincinnati and South Carolina (re)appear.
(Poll numbers are those of the teams entering Week 12. The numbers on parentheses after the teams’ names are their rankings after Week 11. Rankings are from the AP Writers’ Poll/the Coaches Poll/CBSSports.com in that order. NR= Not Ranked You will note that when I refer to a team by its rank, I use the Writers’ Poll position.)
