Florida and Florida State have been knocked out of both the AP Top 25 and the USA Today/Coaches Poll. But some regional names are entering the edges of the ranked, and that has to make some Big 12 fan bases excited. Baylor is back in the USA Today/Coaches poll with a 23 point win over Iowa State, and Big 12 hopeful Houston is also new to the bottom of the poll at No. 22. With Texas falling and Texas A&M lingering around, that makes four programs taking up the final four slots of the poll alongside Penn State.
