College Football Haven Top 25, Week 8, 2010

The Michigan State Spartans moved into the top five this week following Oklahoma’s loss. Alabama, Wisconsin, and Nebraska are back in the top 10. Missouri made the biggest jump up six to number 6 with their upset of the Sooners, which provides some satisfaction to me since I didn’t buy into the BCS number one ranking for Oklahoma. Iowa dropped the furthest, down 10, from nine to 19. Baylor and East Carolina are the two newcomers to the top 25 taking West Virginia and Texas’ places. I am tempted to ban Texas from the top 25 for the rest of the year. I understand a let down after the big win against Nebraska, but to lose to Iowa State, that is unacceptable at this point.
