Best Answer

There is a poll who decide which team is on the top 25 poll, they look the standing and the strength of the schedule. They judge and cast their vote for place 1 to 25 in which the first place worth 25 points, 2nd = 24, and so on. 25th place is 1 point According to Wikipedia.com, there is 65 sportswriters and broadcasters who vote in the poll. Texas Tech and Penn State have the same 9-0 record, so Texas tech is facing better team than Penn state. Texas tech facing Texas / Oklahoma / Oklahoma State / Missouri, all rank(or ranked depending) in top 10 versus Penn State against Ohio State and Michigan State who have(or had) a good rank. It's probably why.
