This week, I finally decided to reward the Houston Cougars and the Kansas State Wildcats for their undefeated records. I put it off for so long, but with so many teams losing in the last half of my top 25, I could wait no longer.
For the second straight week, there is no movement at the top. Alabama hangs on to the top spot. Once you get past ten, things get a bit haywire. I gave Michigan State a fancy #11 next to their name, and that will certainly be tested on Saturday when they play host to Wisconsin.
The Washington Huskies make their debut at #20, while Texas A&M returns. The Aggies finally pulled away from an opponent in the second half, knocking off the previously-ranked Baylor Bears.
As usual, you can see the rankings after the jump and tell me how dumb I am.
