CBS Sports Blog Poll Week 12 - Not A Lot of Losing Going On

by Jon Johnston on Nov 23, 2009 6:15 AM CST in BlogPoll

The top ten remain the same as there wasn't much losing going on this week. We still have six undefeated teams, the top six listed after the jump. I can't remember a season in which we went this deep with this many undefeated teams.

It won't last, of course, as Florida will meet Alabama in the SEC title game, Cinncinati still has to play Pittsburgh, Texas must win a Big 12 title game over Nebraska,

TCU has a game left against New Mexico while Boise State has Nevada and New Mexico State. TCU has little to worry about - New Mexico is 1-10. Boise State takes on 8-3 Nevada Friday night. All three of Nevada's losses were in non-conference play to Notre Dame, Colorado State and Missouri. Since then the Wolf Pack has reeled off eight straight wins. Boise State's last opponent is New Mexico State at 3-8, so if Boise gets past Nevada... prepare for even more screaming at the end of the season. [corrected after originally listing UNLV as BSU's next opponent]

Take and look at the rankings and give me some feedback. Should Nebraska be ranked over North Carolina, as it is in the AP Top 25?

Boise State

UNLV is not a part of BSU’s remaining schedule, but Nevada-Reno is. Nevada leads the nation in rushing and is the first team in NCAA history to have three rushers over 1000 yards for the year. Nevada has rolled off eight straight victories since starting the year with three losses. Hopefully they can make it nine when they play Boise on Friday.

Hate to mention the 800 pound gorilla in the room but.....

Without the lets just say shoddy ref work in the sec would we even have Alabama and Florida in the top 2? Also think that if TCU played any of these teams in a neutral field pretty sure they could win. Hope everything works out.
