According to ESPN BCS guru Brad Edwards:
Whether you side with Oklahoma or Texas in this debate, it's hard not to be disturbed by what happened in the polls on Nov. 30. Certainly, voters have every right to change their minds from week to week, but in this case, there seemed to be a much larger agenda at work.
In any normal week, there would be no rational explanation for Oklahoma (after winning 61-41 at No. 12 Oklahoma State) and Florida (after winning 45-15 at No. 20 Florida State) to both lose points in the polls and get jumped by a team that had a similar victory margin in a home game against an opponent with a losing record.
I can't disagree.
