When you blow out a team like Oklahoma in their place, people start to take notice. This morning, that means the voters of the USA Today Coaches Poll, where the Bears jumped from #10 a week ago to #6 now, just behind #5 TCU. I'm pretty happy with this position overall, even though I know probably a dozen of you are thinking "BUT THIS POLL DOESN'T EVEN MATTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR."

The AP poll has been added, courtesy of the mothership's weekly composite top 25 post. As expected, Baylor is in identical position in both polls.
Thoughts? Baylor aside, I find it pretty interesting that Alabama is above Oregon given the results from yesterday and recent weeks. I know Oregon has had a lot of injury trouble and that may limit them going forward, but they beat a better team in Utah than Alabama did in LSU. At least Utah is interested in scoring points.
