HieloLuz	7	Basically identical resume to Indiana right now, with a quality win over Arizona |3|, but they had a close game against TCU |5|, while Indiana has taken care of business against all their lower tier teams.
Noy_Telinu	7	Fine, BYU good, happy, Mormons?
owl_man	7
Ruhrgebietheld	7
sgtshenanigans	7	I moved the Cougars up one here as I felt as though Texas Tech played rather poorly against Colorado despite the lopsided victory. I still feel as though the Big 12 has the biggest log jam of teams and the conference is still anyone's to win or lose.

HideNZeke	8	Not a great showing for Bear or the team. For the sake of consistency and my respect for the Arizona win I kind of just let it slide. We have a 3-way tie for Big 12 frontrunners. I'm not entirely sure they deserve to be put over the SEC lump but I'll defer on having a bunch of teams jump them until next week. 8-30 is genuinely a tossup

Maladroit44	9	I said last week I was keeping an eye out for moments of inconsistency from BYU, and they sure showed this week, dropping the Cougars a tier. Asterisk that their star RB left the game in the first quarter with an injury, and their defense showed up to stifle TCU on the road, but it's rarely a great sign when your quarterback has more yards rushing than passing. Bear Bachmeier is, uh, probably off the Heisman watchlist now.

_THE__BOULDER_	8	Another sloppy weather game leading to a pretty low scoring game. Bachmeier was 11/24 for 62 yards but also had 66 yards and 2TDs on the ground which helped make up for it. Team had a total of 154 yards on the ground with Bachmeier by far being their leading rusher is kinda interesting, as he had close to the same yardage as the next 3 RBs combined. I'm inclined to excuse the fact that the ball wasn't moving too much based on the weather but might be something to watch out for here as well.

This is me dropping them 3 spots from last week, there's much worse things in this poll to focus on.

LookAtMaxwell	25	Up from #30. It won 17–10 at TCU, and Arizona's 34–7 win over Cincinnati late last night lifted BYU's Week 2 win over Arizona enough to edge it past Pitt. BYU has no losses but no ranked wins either: its best rule win is over #41 Arizona. The score model has it 11th in defense but 58th in offense. It's the shakiest spot in the ranking: with a different seed, BYU and Florida swap #24 and #25.
