My Top 25: Week 4

Saturday started with a lot of promise, but in the end very few upsets actually happened.  The one notable exception is Texas.  Even before this week, Texas had done nothing to deserve their Top 10 ranking.  After an awful home loss versus a below average Pac-10 team in UCLA, the Longhorns have no business being in the Top 25.  With their next two games being against Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout and then at Nebraska, things could get very ugly for the Longhorns.  The only other Top 25 to drop out of the rankings was West Virginia, which lost 20-14 at LSU.  The Mountaineers' loss leaves the Big East without a Top 25 team (the WAC and MWC each have 2). Michigan State and North Carolina State both entered the Top 25 after impressive wins.  Stanford rose 5 spots into the Top 10 after a dominate win at Notre Dame.  Their showdown versus Oregon in Corvallis will reveal a lot about this year's Pac-10 race.  Auburn jumped 4 spots to #6 after rallying to beat a very strong South Carolina team.  Arkansas, Oregon State, and South Carolina all remained ranked after losing because they all lost to Top 10 teams.  Here is the Top 25 for week 4 (also vote in this week's poll):
