15 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Oklahoma is way better than many people are giving them credit for.

21 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Huge loss to a weaker Alabama team to open up SEC play, not too worrying as it was on the road.
22 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Iowa State seems to have come out of nowhere, but are 12-2 with a huge win over Kansas and could possibly challenge for the Big 12 title.
23 University of Minnesota Logo Minnesota Huge win over Wisconsin on the road, with a weaker schedule coming up the Gophers need to take advantage to gain some momentum.

25 Texas Christian University Logo TCU TCU has probably been one of the quietest one loss teams so far, only time can tell how good they will be.
