Is the Big 12 getting disrespected compared to the ACC? And did the AP Top 25 get it wrong by ranking Notre Dame ahead of Alabama, Miami and Indiana?

On today's Open for Business, we're breaking down the latest college football rankings, including why Notre Dame's resume deserves more scrutiny, whether BYU and Texas Tech are getting enough respect, and why the Big 12 might actually be stronger than the ACC despite the national perception of both conferences.

Utah and BYU are battling for the top spot, Texas Tech moves up after I reconsidered its recent performances, and Houston and Oklahoma State round out an incredibly competitive top five.

BYU football's offense came ALIVE in a 24-10 win over Iowa State! After struggling against TCU, the Cougars bounced back in a big way behind Bear Bachmeier's 329 passing yards and 109 rushing yards. Now, with Notre Dame coming to Provo next week, could ESPN College GameDay be headed to BYU?

John Kurtz breaks down BYU's impressive response against Iowa State, including a passing attack that finally found its rhythm without injured star running back LJ Martin. BYU's defense was equally impressive, holding the Cyclones to just 200 total yards one week after they piled up 577 against West Virginia.

But it wasn't all perfect. BYU struggled to run the ball outside of Bachmeier, made some questionable fourth-down decisions, and nearly let Iowa State back into the game after a costly muffed punt.

We also discuss Iowa State's fight under Jimmy Rogers, Kalani Sitake's game management, and what this performance tells us about BYU's chances against Notre Dame.

Plus, could College GameDay come to Provo for the massive BYU-Notre Dame showdown on October 17?
