MY MWC PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Go with Cougar junior receiver Austin Collie. He's never had the honor, but he will end up the school's all-time leading receiver. His fourth 100-yard game came against the Lobos Saturday (9 catches for 155 yards). He ranks among the NCAA's top wide receivers in average yards (112.7 ypg), receptions (7.8 cpg) and total receiving yards (673 ypg).

YEAH, BUT: On Saturday, MWC signal callers had a combined pass efficiency rating of 68.86 and that included BYU's Hall, who had a 159.29 rating.

TRENDSETTERS: It's a downward spiral and could lead to no bowl for the first time in 33 years as Michigan lost to Toledo, scoring just 10 points against a team that was 1-4 and lost 35-16 to Florida International. This was worse than the loss to Appalachian State last year. At Clemson and Auburn, heads roll for less.

OVERRATED: LSU and the rotating QBs. How can you be ranked that high and give up 51?

UNDERRATED: Tulsa is 6-0 and fields the best passing offense in the country but remains unranked.

BOTTOM LINE: TCU has 28 sacks this season and got four at then No. 1 Oklahoma and the visiting Cougars have given up just one sack in six games this season. One's gotta win out Thursday.

MY TOP FIVE: 1. Texas, 2. Alabama, 3. Penn State, 4. Texas Tech, 5. Florida.
