The Big 12 is still knocking on the door if you ask human people. The computers have already answered.
Clemson remains the number one team in the nation in both this week's AP Poll and Amway/USA Today Coaches Poll, while Alabama moves up to number two in both and retains its position atop the Massey Composite Ranking index.
Iowa vaults to third in both polls, skipping past Notre Dame was well as being lifted due to losses by Ohio State and Oklahoma State, previously second and fourth. Notre Dame rose one spot, while Oklahoma moved up two; Michigan State and Baylor each received a three-place boost at the expense of the fallen OSUs as well as Florida, punished for their overtime win over dismal Florida Atlantic.
