Title: Knocking on the Door of the Top 25
Post by: Lynch on September 26, 2011, 08:31:36 AM
USA Today (coaches)

1. Oklahoma (32 of 59 first-place votes)
6. Oklahoma State
13. Texas A&M
17. Baylor
18. Texas

Baylor jumped Texas on the Longhorns' bye week and the Bears' blowout win over Rice. No big surprise there, but those two teams are close.

Lots of other teams receiving votes:

30. Iowa State
31. Kansas State
33. Texas Tech

No big movers in that poll, but I'm a little surprised OSU didn't jump anyone with its win like it did in the media poll. No love for Missouri from voters this week among coaches, but Kansas State is knocking on the door of the top 25. Beat Baylor next week, and no question the Wildcats are in.

2. Oklahoma (12 of 60 first-place votes)
5. Oklahoma State
14. Texas A&M
15. Baylor
17. Texas

Nobody joins, and nobody drops out, but those all look about right. Texas A&M dropped a little bit more than I expected, but this early in the season, that's what will happen. I'll release my top 25 ballot later this week. Kansas State didn't get a single vote last week, but nearly crashed the party after beating Miami on Saturday.

Others receiving votes:

29. Iowa State
31. Kansas State
40. Missouri
