Comments:

  • Penn State did increase in power this week; just not enough to stay ahead of Texas.

  • Missouri had a big power lead last week; their close loss to a good team wasn't enough for APR to drop them very far.

  • BYU and LSU are the only ranked teams out of APR's top 30. LSU had their chance to make the case that they were underrated, and came away with a 30-point beat-down for their trouble.
