The Upset Top 20 -- Week 12

Aww Eff It weekend, so inspired by Lee Corso's lovable potty mouth, produced major shake-up in the polls used in the BCS rankings. Here at The Upset, things got downright awesome. Our voters' ballots varied widely, and as I kind of expected, resulted in the "closest" poll yet -- as in, not many points separate many of the poll positions. A tie at the bottom means that this week's poll is actually a Top 21.

MWC Power Rankings: Week 11

It wasn't a fun weekend to be a Bronco, but the Horned Frogs came to Boise and earned the win. There were a couple other upsets in the conference last weekend too. Here are this week's Power Rankings:

1. #19 TCU 8-2 (5-0)
Quarterback Casey Pachall and receivers Josh Boyce and Brandon Carter torched the Bronco secondary on Saturday accounting for 283 yards and all 5 TDs en route to a 36-35 win at Bronco Stadium.
