Wow! Oklahoma is invincible in Norman. The Sooners destroyed Texas Tech, 65-21. That has created one heck of a log jam in the Big 12 South and in the BCS ranks.
(Poll numbers are those of the teams entering Week 13. 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.)
1/1/2 Alabama The Crimson Tide was IDLE this week.
2/2/1 Texas Tech The Red Raiders took their perfect record to Norman, OK to play the #5 Sooners and got their head handed to them. The Sooners scored soonest and oftenest in winning 65-21.
3/3/3 Florida The Gators hosted and toasted The Citadel. No comment. No mercy either as the 70-19 final shows.
4/4/4 Texas The Longhorns were IDLE.
5/5/5 Oklahoma The Sooners hosted the undefeated Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are no longer undefeated having been pummeled by the Sooners, 65-21.
6/6/6 Southern California The Trojans were IDLE this week.
7/8/7 Penn State The Nittany Lions clinched the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl with a convincing 49-18 win over the #17 Michigan State Spartans.
8/7/8 Utah The Utes put their undefeated season on the line as they hosted #16 Brigham Young. The Utes are looking to bust into a BCS bowl after taming the Cougars 48-24.
9/9/9 Boise State The Broncos were able to hold off the Wolfpack of Nevada this week by 41-34.
10/10/11 Ohio State The Buckeyes just demolished the hapless Michigan Wolverines, 42-7.
11/12/10 Oklahoma State The Cowboys were IDLE this week.
12/11/12 Missouri The Tigers also were IDLE this week.
13/13/13 Georgia The Bulldogs were yet another team that was IDLE in week 13.
14/16/15 Ball State The Cardinals extended their undefeated season on Wednesday night by defeating Central Michigan, 31-24.
15/17/16 TCU The Horned Frogs hopped all over Air Force, 44-10.
16/14/14 Brigham Young The Cougars fell to the #8 Utes at Utah by a 48-24 score.
17/15/17 Michigan State The Spartans showed up at Happy Valley to play #7 Penn State—but that’s about all they did as PSU won 49-18.
18/18/22 LSU The Tigers had to come from way behind last week to defeat Troy. This week they couldn’t do so against Mississippi. Ole Miss pulled off the upset 31-13.
19/20/18 Cincinnati The Bearcats edged #20 Pittsburgh 28-21.
20/19/19 Pittsburgh The Panthers traveled to Cincinnati. Hope they enjoyed the chili cause they came away the losers in a 28-21 match.
21/21/21 Oregon State The Ducks traveled to Arizona. They managed to eke out a 19-17 victory.
22/23/20 Maryland The Terps’ stay in the Top 25 will be short lived. The Florida State Seminoles took them apart 37-3.
23/NR/NR Miami (Fla) “The Hurricanes have been absent from the Top 25 for a long time. They play Thursday night at Georgia Tech. Mmm, Thursday night. Could be bad news for Miami.” That’s what I said last week. Time to wave bye-bye to the Hurricanes. It was 41-23, Yellow Jackets. It was 41-0 at the end of 3 quarters as Georgia Tech rushed for 472 yards.
24/22/23 Oregon The Beavers having reentered the Top 25 this week were IDLE.
25/NR/25 North Carolina The Tar Heels will continue their fall—right out of the Top 25—after losing to intra-state rival North Carolina State 41-10.
NR/24/24 Northwestern I said, “The Wildcats have been up and down all year. Their up this week.” Northwestern over Illinois, by 27-10.
NR/25/NR Boston College By virtue of their victory over Florida State, the Eagles have gotten some coach’s love this week. They will be playing at Wake Forest on Saturday.
