It’s one of the strongest weeks in a long, long time for the CFN Week 4 rankings from 26 to 138, considering Missouri, West Virginia, and Virginia Tech are all unbeaten teams worthy of being in the latest CFN Top 25.
And then there’s Oregon, but there’s one big problem: Tulsa is still unbeaten, and it beat Oklahoma State, who beat the Ducks, and no amount of Oregon points scored against Portland State last week are enough to deserve a spot past the Golden Hurricane – for now.
