We all know the answer, but I'll ask the question anyway.

Since 3-1 Georgia was absolutely throttled in their loss to Bama, which of these impressive wins is propping up their #5 ranking:

2-2 Arkansas
3-2 Auburn
2-3 Tennessee

Who should be ahead of them?

If they beat #6 next week do they get back in the top 25?  Two votes and below some of those teams is off if you ask me.

... Or, two votes and above some other teams is off.

with some other coaches I would say there's always a good chance for Texas to see its potential in one epic game and beat Oklahoma state. But nope, not going to happen this year.

This B10 shit is so fucking stupid. So PSU is 0-1 but stays ranked in the top 20? Unranked Indiana jumps to #17 because they beat PSU? USC is better than SMU, ISU and Oklahoma - why? 

Texas would be so fucking good if we only played 1 game this year

Oklahoma St is over rated as fuck (then again, Georgia, Cinci, A&M) ... Won't be at all surprised if we beat them then lose the next week because Texas.

 

1) I think they're a little overrated, but not much.  Absolutely a Top 12 or so team right now at least.
2) Someone in the conference has to be given some love since it royally sucks ass this year so far, so who else is better?  Only K-State - maybe.

Normally I'd say we're in the market for another close UT-OSU slugfest, but this year we suck terribly, and now our talent on the field is no better than theirs, in fact worse at most spots, and of course they are INSANELY better coached than we are (love or hate 40man, he's lights above Terrible Tom - but then so again is a turnip).

I don't think it'll be a total shitsmear, but OSU's matchups on our terriblyundertaught players highly favor them.  We could get lucky, but OSU is probably as stoked to be in position for the playoff as any Big XII team in years, and one loss kisses them good-bye.  I think they'll completely smash our mouths in, because anyone can pretty much.  But you're right - they'll probably eat the shit sandwich in Norman in a month.  But they have their best team under Gundy ever IMHO.  FWIW (maybe not much).

No B12 team is sniffing the playoffs with 1 loss, period.  Too much OU crash and burn the last few years to make pollsters think the Big 12 is any good, and they're more or less right.

The only exception is Kansas State if they run the table - but I don't think they will.

Herman teams play up or down to the level of competition. Even if OSU jumps out, Texas will make it close. It's a coin flip game and no B12 team is sniffing the playoffs, period

The staggered start dates really exposed how fucking worthless polls are for the first 5 weeks. Teams overinflated in pre-season will always have the advantage because voters want to hide their stupidity. Also known as the SEC Rule. No non-conf has also shown that it's really 2-3 great teams and then everybody else.
