This may be the most disrespected 6-2 team in history. A lot of people watched the Miami beatdown and the Tech game didn't help. No one was impressed by the close call with Fresno State either. Throw on the high cost of insider information and Aggie land has gone a little wacko. Still, this is a big physical team with great athletes. The will be KU's biggest challenge of the year, but from a defensive standpoint, at least the game plan is simple and focused. Stopping the run is what the Blue Steel defense does, so it'll be about execution for the Hawks.

Central Michigan got mauled 70-14 at Clemson yet they stand atop their division in the MAC Conference. Remember when BCS teams had to take these teams seriously? Toledo picks up the lone win of the week -- a 43-40 squeaker against Ohio (3-5) at the Glass Bowl. With KSU and Baylor falling, KU's opponents were 1-6 on the week. Nice.
