Syracuse, Mississippi and Illinois have been selected as the nation's top three football teams according to the current issue of Newsweek magazine.
Oklahoma, the only Big Eight team mentioned, was ranked ninth.
Close behind Illinois was last year's Rose Bowl winner and Pacific Coast power, Washington, in fourth position.
Texas, although upset by Nebraska last week, was in fifth with USC Pittsburgh, Michigan State, Oklahoma and Auburn filling the remaining five positions in that order.

Schick Ready for Action at K-State
Doyle Schick, Jayhawk first string fullback, will be a definite starter against the Wildcats of Kansas State at Manhattan tomorrow.
CLIPPER BARBER SHOP "Woolworth's is across from us." 914 Mass.
The announcement came just two days after the Lawrence senior twisted his ankle on an end run during Wednesday afternoon's practice.
Schick reported for practice yesterday but didn't engage in any body contact as the Jayhawks ran through final drills in preparation for their first Big Eight league contest.
An inspired Kansas State gridiron squad will be eager to knock the props from under the high-flying Kansas Jayhawkers when they meet at Manhattan Saturday to continue their traditional rivalry.
Schick's recovery leaves the Jayhawks with still three key players out of tomorrow's action.
The Kansas coaches, too, seem to realize, and fear, the pressure carried by this intense rivalry as they come to the end of a strenuous week of drills in preparation for the first of seven battles which could lead to an invitation to the Orange Bowl in Miami Jan. 2.
The coaches said it will be the team that shows the greatest desire to win that will leave the field victorious. Therefore, they feel the Jayhawks cannot rely upon sheer power, speed or experience to beat the Wildcats.
Kansas goes into tomorrow's game a heavy favorite following last Saturday's 21-7 victory over highly rated Texas Christian. However, the Hawks will need an impressive victory over the Wildeats to keep their high ranking among the nation's football teams.
"Effort will overcome technique, and will therefore pay dividends," according to line coach Bobby Goad.
One of the Hawk's big worries is the time runny and passing of Cat quarterback John Solmos. Last year against KU Solmos completed seven of 20 pass attempts for 152 yards. Because of this Kansas head coach Jack Mitchell has been drilling the team extensively on pass defense. The Jayhawks also are preparing for the Solmos version of the "keeper" play, which he used so successfully in K-State's opener.
Stan Musial is the greatest hitter I ever faced. Even with that screwy stance he doesn't have a weakness.—Warren Spahn.
Every time you play against the Yankees you tell yourself they're just another team. But you know different. —Rube Marlin.

The Jayhawks will also be alert for the outside running of halfback Jack Richardson. This threat is especially imposing since the Wildcats have lost the services of their first string fullback Bill Gallagher.
With end Sam Simpson out for sure. Mitchell has moved junior Joe Sprekelmeyer to the first team end spot. Neither Fred Bukaty nor Kent Staab will play.
The two main things that bothered K-State against South Dakota State was an apparent weakness in the middle of the "Cat defensive line, and a constantly shifting South Dakota defense.
he didn't seem very optimistic. But, his thoughts are understandable with the possibility of one starter and two top reserves out of action.
Mitchell said that the Wildcat defensive weakness wasn't overly obvious, but if it's there Saturday you can watch for Curtis McClinton, Bert Coan and John Hadl to take advantage of the situation. Mitchell said the defensive alignment would be the same as against TCU.
According to Mitchell, the Jayhawks looked pretty good this week in practice, but even in saying this
The yet untested Kansas passing attack looked somewhat better this week in practice, but the opposition was the freshmen and the fourth string varsity.
In a final comment, Mitchell said, 'We must play at our maximum to seat K-State. I only hope that the boys realize this.'
The game, the 57th in the series which began in 1902, will start at 1:30 p.m. Kansas holds a big edge in the series, winning 37, losing 17 and tying three times. Last year KU won 33-14. The last time that the Wildcats won was in 1955 when they whipped KU 46-0.
