College Football Week 4

Well, the pie chart hasn't changed much this week. The Pac-10 basically stole one spot from the top 25 from the Big 12 with ASU's win and A&M's loss. SEC still dominates all conferences with 6 spots in the top 25. There are 23 Championship Division (previously called 1-A) teams that are undefeated. Each week several more will fall from the ranks. As we get down to more of a manageable number, I'll start tracking the undefeated teams as well. The next big benchmark of the season is the Texas OU game. I sure hope that Texas and OU don't look past Kansas State and Colorado to next week like I am. The Red River Shootout is the best when both teams go into it undefeated and ranked in the top 10. This week Texas gets Kansas State at home and Oklahoma has to go on the road to Colorado. All of the media is pretty much expecting OU to whoop up on Texas this year. I'd rather have it that way than the other way around. For the most part recently(except for Vince's title year run), Texas seems to perform better when the pressure is not on them (think of the Chris Simms era). I'd rather be the underdog going into the Red River Shootout than to be the favorite. OU sure has looked good so far this year, though. Texas hasn't looked as sharp, but that being said, Texas-OU is a rivalry game and as we all know, the better team on paper doesn't always win rivalry games. You can toss out the records and statistics when entering the Cotton Bowl this year on October 6. I also really hope that Texas wins since one of my friends attending OU will be staying with us that weekend while he goes to the game on Saturday. If Texas loses, then I'm never going to hear the end of it from him. That's all for now...oh, and here's the updated rankings by conference chart, even though it didn't change much:
