Oddities abound in this week's RBA top 25. One-loss (3) Oregon jumps four spots over undefeated (4) Wisconsin and (5) Boise State thanks to a staggering offensive performance against Arizona. (8) Oklahoma drops three spots despite defeating (30) Missouri thanks to a lower-than-expected defensive performance. Meanwhile, (4) Texas A&M jumps four spots after losing to (10) Oklahoma State, who dropped a spot. RBA has a lot more poll mobility than TFG does, so we come to expect these things. The key to success in RBA's polls is sustained efficiency, exemplified by (1) Stanford and (2) Alabama. (3) Oregon, (4) Wisconsin, and (5) Boise State can contend for the top spot by improving their defenses.
