Last Week: #3

TCU Horned Frogs

Record: 2 - 0

Notes: The quarterback play is still an issue, but wow, that defense is going to be a problem for Big 12 teams.

Last Week: #6

Baylor Bears

Record: 2 - 0

Notes: The Bears were on a bye this week and have a chance to build some momentum against Rice this week.

Last Week: #2

Texas A&M Aggies

Record: 2 - 1

Notes: The Aggies were fine against Lamar, but tougher tests are coming this week.

Last Week: #4

Houston Cougars

Record: 1 - 1

Notes: The Cougars showed a pulse against a great Washington State team, but they still need to get D'Eriq King in better positions.

Last Week: #7

North Texas Mean Green

Record: 1 - 2

Notes: The Mean Green put up a valiant fight against Cal, and should gain plenty of confidence as C-USA play starts for them this week.

Last Week: #8

Texas Tech Red Raiders

Record: 2 - 1

Notes: Tech dropped an unacceptable game against Arizona, making them the biggest dropper in the state.

Last Week: #5

Rice Owls

Record: 0 - 3

Notes: The Owls got blasted by Texas, but that was expected.

Notes: The Bobcats played hard on defense, but the offense is still struggling to give them anything.

Notes: UTSA has yet to show much consistency against any FBS opponents this year.

Notes: The good news about the bye? It turns out Houston Baptist, which UTEP escaped, might just be plain good.
