The newest AP poll is here and we have some interesting movement in this week's Top 25.
The Kansas State Wildcats 48-0 demolition of the Oklahoma State Cowboys was the biggest mover both ways, as KSU added nine spots while the 'Pokes fell back nine spots. The loss of Spencer Sanders for OKSU, combined with some terrific play from backup KSU quarterback Will Howard, made for an exciting game which will be huge for the Big 12 Championship Game berths later.
The Tennessee Volunteers 44-6 blowout win over Kentucky put the Vols in the silver medal position, as they actually pull into a dead tie for the No. 2 spot with the Ohio State Buckeyes. It sets up a rare No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown this week in Athens, as the eyes of all of college football will be on Sanford Stadium for what is the de facto SEC East championship.
