Overall Rationale: BYU has a sneaky strong SoR- feels like poll inertia is why they aren't higher in the AP. I don't have to rank Texas, and I'm not going to. This has happened a lot with Red River in the past decade where you just have to throw that result out when evaluating the two. I think OU is pretty good and can beat Ole Miss Saturday.
