1) UCF Knights 3-0 (1-0). RB4SC22 Still rolling along with a strong start to the season. Next up on the slate are two very tough tests though. Will the Knights be able to keep the record intact with #13 Colorado and #10 Florida coming to town? The Central Florida Knights have had a solid season, showcasing notable strengths and areas for improvement. On offense, they've accumulated a total of 1,118 yards, ranking 6th in their conference and 56th nationally. Their performance is highlighted by a robust passing game with 641 yards, good for 7th in the conference. However, their rushing game, while decent, ranks 4th in the conference and 43rd nationally. The Knights have also shown strong efficiency in both punt returns and kick returns, ranking 2nd and 10th in the conference, respectively.
Defensively, the Knights have been quite effective, allowing just 24 points, which ranks 3rd in their conference and 8th nationally. They’ve been particularly strong against the run, allowing only 165 rushing yards, placing them 5th in the conference. Their passing defense has been less formidable, ranking 10th in the conference with 605 yards allowed. Overall, while Central Florida excels in specific areas such as punt returns and rush defense, there are opportunities for improvement in their passing game and kick returns.
2) Baylor Bears 4-0 (2-0) Dopesoap023 The offense is starting to show out and taking down #12 Colorado by 25 on the road was a huge win for the upstart coach. The Baylor Bears have had an impressive season offensively, leading their conference in both total points and total offense. With 172 points scored, they top their conference and rank 4th nationally, demonstrating a high-scoring capability. Their offensive strength is evident in their total yards, where they also rank 1st in the conference and 28th nationally, with a notable balance between a powerful passing game (3rd in the conference) and a strong rushing attack (2nd in the conference).
Defensively, however, Baylor has faced significant challenges. They have allowed 113 points, ranking 16th in their conference and 95th nationally. Their defense has struggled particularly against the pass, ranking 15th in the conference and 88th nationally in passing yards allowed. Despite some defensive shortcomings, Baylor’s kick return unit has been effective, ranking 4th in the conference and 65th nationally. Overall, while the Bears shine on offense, their defensive performance will need improvement to match their offensive success.
3) Cincinnati Bearcats 3-0 (1-0) ShadyNasty Some big games on the slate with Texas Tech and #25 Utah, then #20 UCF waiting in the wings. With this conference though, easy games are far and few between. The Cincinnati Bearcats have delivered a strong offensive performance this season, ranking 2nd in their conference and 21st nationally in total points with 142 scored. Their offensive prowess is evident in their total offense, where they rank 3rd in the conference and 39th nationally, combining a solid rushing attack (3rd in the conference) with a potent passing game (4th in the conference). They also excel in punt returns, leading their conference and ranking 10th nationally.
Defensively, the Bearcats have faced some challenges. They’ve allowed 86 points, placing them 11th in their conference and 64th nationally. Their defense has struggled against both the run and the pass, ranking 14th in the conference in rushing and passing yards allowed. Despite these defensive issues, they have been effective in limiting punt returns, ranking 1st in their conference and 7th nationally in that category. Overall, Cincinnati’s high-powered offense is complemented by strong special teams, but improving their defensive performance will be crucial for future success.
4) Kansas Jayhawks 2-0 (0-0) JiggyJRod Still waiting to play some games from block 2 but this team is just waiting to explode on to the scene.
5) West Virginia Mountaineers 2-0 (0-0) shel311 Huge matchup waiting to be played between the Mountaineers and the Jayhawks. It'll be a huge building block for whichever team walks away with the W.
6) Utah Utes 1-0 (0-0) Dakshdar Tough to judge this team as we're still waiting on a lot of games to be played. The talent is there, what will Dak be able to do with it?
7) Oklahoma State Cowboys 1-0 (0-0) Back to back byes came the record unblemished. Now we get to see him face off with#25 Utah and Kansas State.
8) [b]Houston Cougars 2-1 (0-1) Yragha Took a bit of a tumble at the hands of Cincinnati last week. Iowa State and TCU are next up on the conference slate.

10) Colorado Buffaloes 1-1 (0-1) outlaw Took a beating from Baylor after laying it on Boise State.
11) Texas Tech Red Raiders 1-1 (0-0) buckeye76 The Buckeyes took down the Red Raiders early, but a strong showing against Ole Miss has the Raiders riding high for now.
12) Arizona Wildcats 1-1 (0-0) razorback44 Coming off a bye week, the Wildcats must prepare for #25 Utah and Texas Tech.
13) BYU Cougars 2-2 (1-1) TSTEPANEK[/b] Tough to judge the Cougars right now with so many other teams having unplayed games. They'll be a tough team for anyone playing them, but they might not have enough to threaten the conference leaders.
14) Iowa State Cyclones 1-1 (0-0) Jrembold[/b] Another team with an early bye. Need to see a few more games before we can get a good read on this team, but it may be an long uphill climb.
15) Kansas State Wildcats 0-3 (0-0) bearass[/b] KSU is struggling right now and the upcoming schedule is not going to be forgiving.
16) Texas Christian Horned Frogs 0-3 (0-1) Narcanman[/b] Find themselves, along with KState, at the bottom of the barrel. It's a long season so all is not lost, but there is not much room for error.
