SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
If Oklahoma State loses it becomes a free-for-all. Bama probably is still the best one-loss team in my opinion, but will voters want to see a rematch against LSU?
Houston's out there lurking, but their best win to date is probably a four-point win over a 5-5 UCLA team. They will get some help if they can beat Tulsa (7-3) in their finale and a one-loss Southern Miss team in a C-USA title game, but it won't be nearly enough with so many quality one-loss teams ahead of them.
On the Big East front, Cincinnati gets replaced by West Virginia in my poll. Cincinnati would be my first team out.
