College Football Top 25 (Week 5) 16-20

16. Oregon Ducks: 
Last Week: Beat Washington State 52-6
Notes: The Ducks have some injury concerns with Masoli questionable for this weekend.  They are lucky enough to have a solid backup behind him, so expect the Ducks to keep rolling.  They started slowly, but it looks like that might say more about Boise than it does Oregon.
 

17. Kansas Jayhawks:
Last Week: Bye
Notes: The Jayhawks are continuing their growth as a program this year, but they are not as dominant as some of my neighbors here in Kansas would like to think.  They had some trouble putting away an athletic, but mediocre Southern Miss team in their last game, and will need to give a stronger showing against the Cyclones this week.  The second half of their schedule is daunting and they need to work the bugs out if they want to stay in the hunt for the Big 12 North title.
 

18. Mississippi Rebels
Last Week: Beat Vanderbilt 23-7
Notes:  Ole Miss looked a little better last week, but they are in trouble against Bama this week.  Mississippi is not strong enough on the front lines to stand up to the Tide, and they are going to have to play a great game to keep it close.
 

19. BYU Cougars:
Last Week: Beat Utah State 35-17
Notes: The Cougars are coasting through a weak stretch of schedule as their matchup with TCU looms in a few weeks.  That said, this is the time to work out the issues and solidify their execution.  Max Hall is their leader, and he has been way to loose with the ball since their stomping at the hands of the Seminoles.  They will win this week, but it won't mean much.
 

20. Oklahoma Sooners:
Last Week: Lost to Miami 20-21
Notes: They played Miami close, which was a surprise to a lot of people.  That is an especially good sign with you take into account that Bradford and Grisham are both missing.  It is reported that Bradford may be back this week and that will give this team a life.  That said, with Baylor up next, they shouldn't need the lift.  The Shootout is the week after though, and in the land of red dirt, that is the one that matters.
