DCTF's 2012 Texas College Power Poll — Week Ten
| # | School | Last Week Rank |
| 1 | Texas A&M Aggies | 1 |
| Greg Tepper: Put aside that Mississippi State probably wasn't worthy of their lofty ranking. That was still a demolition of the highest order of what is still a pretty quality SEC team. Aggies shouldn't feel optimistic about their chances against the buzzsaw known as Alabama, but at this point, isn't A&M already playing with house money? | ||
| 2 | Texas Longhorns | 3 |
| Jake Shaw:
Mack certainly knows how to quiet his critics. |
||
| 3 | Texas Tech Red Raiders | 2 |
| Adam Hochfelder: While I did not expect a loss at home to Texas, the Red Raiders combined 3 losses are to teams with a combined record of 23-4 | ||
| 4 | TCU Horned Frogs | 4 |
| Brad Hilliard: This year's Cardiac Kids at TCU make up for a few holes in their game with a never-say-die attitude that will pay dividends in coming years. | ||
| 5 | Baylor Bears | 5 |
| Greg Tepper: Drubbing Kansas at home -- even while rolling up over 650 total yards -- doesn't move the needle for me. Beating Oklahoma in Norman this Saturday? Now we're talking. | ||
| 6 | SMU Mustangs | 6 |
| Jake Shaw: Hey, the campus is called the Hilltop. Ups and downs should be expected. | ||
| 7 | Houston Cougars | 7 |
| Brad Hilliard: How the Coogs finish this rebuilding year will say a lot about the strength of this program's foundation. | ||
| 8 | Rice Owls | 8 |
| Adam Hochfelder: David Bailiff is making late run to keep his job. 4-5 is not shabby considering the Owls' start to the season. | ||
| 9 | UTEP Miners | 11 |
| Greg Tepper: This was the best the Miners have looked since the opener against Oklahoma! What's that? They didn't play? Oh. Well, that explains it. | ||
| 10 | North Texas Mean Green | 10 |
| Jake Shaw: Losing Saturday to Arkansas State probably cost the Mean Green bowl eligibility. | ||
| 11 | Texas State Bobcats | 9 |
| Adam Hochfelder: Utah State is a good team, but not as good as Texas State made them look on Saturday | ||
| 12 | UTSA Roadrunners | 12 |
| Jake Shaw: The Roadrunners have left that tough four-game stretch with some scars. | ||
