3. Baylor Bears

Overall Record: 23-5 (10-5)

Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 3, same
What Nathan Says: Had they lost to Texas, I would have knocked them down a spot but kudos to the Bears for sticking it out.

4. Iowa St. Cyclones

Overall Record: 19-8 (9-5)
Last Week's Record: 1-0
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 4, same
What Nathan Says: Bracketologist Jerry Palm believes the Cyclones have "work left to do." They do but as of now they're on the right side of the bubble.

5. Kansas St. Wildcats

Overall Record: 18-8 (7-7)
Last Week's Record: 1-0
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 6, up one spot

Just maybe the Wildcats have their point guard for the next few years in Angel Rodriguez.

T6. Texas Longhorns

Overall Record: 17-11 (7-8)
Last Week's Record: 1-2
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 5, down one spot
What E. Carnes Says: The Longhorns really "pulled a Texas" on Monday night against Baylor, losing a close game in the last few minutes.

T6. Oklahoma St. Cowboys

Overall Record: 13-14 (6-8)
Last Week's Results: 1-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 7, up one spot
What Evan Says: Big win against Texas only helps Travis Ford's solid recruiting in the Lone Star state.

8. Texas A&M Aggies

Overall Record: 13-13 (4-10)
Last Week's Record: 1-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 8, same

9. Oklahoma Sooners

Overall Record: 13-13 (3-11)
Last Week's Record: 0-2
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 9, same

Overall Record: 8-18 (1-13)
Last Week's Record: 0-2
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 10, same
