The toughest question of all right now: where do you rank a Dennis Dixon-less Oregon?

Looks like LSU has righted the ship and maintained the navigation towards the National Championship. If the Tigers can win their next two games they will play in the title game, but against who is the other question. Will they play KU, Mizzou, West Virginia or somebody else. This weeks games will help weed out some teams that may not belong. West Virginia vs Conn will be a telling game, so will the game of the week KU vs. Mizzou in Kansas City, where the winner will play again in the Big 12 Championship game. If OU loses this week, then Mizzou or KU will play Texas as long as the Horns win. Oh how the Big 12 and the rest of college football gets crazier and wilder each and every week.

Kansas is the only remaining unbeaten team from a BCS conference. How can you POSSIBLY not put them #1? Oh that's right: because they were not supposed to be good. We're not used to them being good, therefore they're not that good.
LSU has won their last four conference wins (forget about that loss to Kentucky, apparently) by an average of 8.5 points a game while Kansas has won their last four conference games (period) by an average of 24.5 points.
The only logical conclusion is, of course, that LSU is number one because they play in the SEC and that means they're playing the best talent in the nation.
Guess what LSU? Louisiana-Monroe beat Alabama by a touchdown too.

1) LSU- The Tigers have the most big wins among undefeated and no loss teams. They've earned their #1 ranking.
2) West Virginia- They'll drop next win after the Missouri-Kansas winner takes their place. They caught a break when Oklahoma lost to Texas Tech. Now all they'll need is the Missouri-Kansas winner to lose in the Big 12 Championship Game. If that happens, West Virginia will be facing LSU in the BCS Championship Game.
3) Kansas- Win the next two and they'l be playing for a National Championship.
4) Missouri- Win the next two and they'll be playing for a National Championship.
