This week it's not a team, a player, an offense or a defense but an entire conference that has seized the No. 1 spot.
1. The ACC
It's not bad enough that the ACC somehow cannot keep Maryland from leaving. The on-the-field performance was even worse. Let's recap:
*At home, Florida State got smashed by a Florida team that struggled to score points against an otherwise bad non-conference schedule.
*Clemson was defeated at Death Valley by a South Carolina team led by dead Welsh poet Dylan Thompson and without star Marcus Lattimore.
*Wake Forest got destroyed by the same Vanderbilt team that lost to Northwestern.
*Georgia de-engineered Georgia Tech completely.
2. Missouri
Mizzou's entrance into the SEC has been a wholesale disaster. One conference win over sad sack Kentucky, which had already fired its coach. Add in an embarrassing loss to a bad Syracuse team.
Mizzou and Texas A&M entered the SEC at a similar level talent-wise, w...

Will the Longhorns leave Manhattan with a win? Photo: The U.S. Army
The game tomorrow evening will be tough for the Longhorns as they travel to enemy territory, in Manhattan, Kansas. The Longhorns come into the game as underdogs and will be at an even bigger disadvantage without starting quarterback David Ash. Even though Ash had a terrible game last week, I’d still feel better...

Kansas State will not compete for the BCS Championship. On Saturday they will try to defeat the Texas Longhorns to earn at-least a share of the Big 12 Championship. Should Oklahoma lose earlier in the day against TCU then they will claim the title solely.

McCoy, who hasn't started since the last game of the 2011 regular season, relieved Ash in a 20-13 loss to TCU on Thanksgiving.
While coach Mack Brown called the passing game "inept...

Texas-Kansas St. Preview
It probably wasn't the most happy of Thanksgivings for seventh-ranked Kansas State.
The Wildcats had climbed ever so slowly to No. 1 in the BCS standings before losing two weeks ago at Baylor, ending their perfect season along with their national championship dreams.
And due to a quirk in the schedule, they had last week off, giving them some extra time to stew over what will...
