| 3 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Oklahoma State is 5-0. They have good wins over Baylor (5-1) and Kansas State (3-2). Also have a decent win over Boise state (3-3), which I wouldn't have said anything about but Boise just beat BYU. |

Michigan State is undefeated, but they are lacking in quality wins. They could have an undefeated matchup with Michigan at the end of the month that would really give them a solid win.  |
| 11 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
like MSU, Michigan is undefeated but lacks in wins over quality teams.  |
| 12 |
