I honestly believe we will fix that on Oct 9.  

If someone doesn't fix it before then.

    This is about the time each season where the preseason rankings are having waaaaaay too much influence.  Most teams have played 5 games (over 40 percent of their games), and we have a reasonable amoun

If they do we will make refried beans in Dallas!

Not shocked to see ol' bohls himself ranked as the worst voter of the poll. Alright. Not worst. But the one who deviates the highest from the rest of the group. They track this by week and season long. He is rock bottom for both. 

Also aggy voter having aggy 3 over Georgia is very on brand for aggy.

I’ve been dragging my feet on getting ESPN+. I’ve always preferred FPI to SP+, but they’re probably interchangeable.

Bro, that’s against a SEC defense, so the 3 points is like 35 in real life. 

And Georgia's offense scored 3 against an ACC defense.  🤣

I'm mostly happy to see LSU out of the top 25.

They never should've been there to start with, but I assumed they'd get the standard sec benefit of the doubt and hover around 23-24 until they lost a conference game.

I guess everyone is seeing the writing on the wall for the ogre.

They'll probably be back in after beating up on McNeese State and Central Michigan.

ISU and USC are two of the most overrated teams in the country, imo. So I'm somewhat gruntled by this list. 

And yet Bohls has USC at #6:

Hang on let me have a couple more beers and I'll hit him up on twitter for that one. 

Who the fuck is that that he has 9? Utah? This dude is senile and needs to be stripped of that vote. My God.

Probably not worth making sweeping generalizations since the math mostly reflects last season still, but it’s interesting how our S&P+ is in line with our human rankings for once

I like FPI much better - even if I'm ignoring UT's ranking. Anyone that thinks that USC is better than Cincy or that Utah is the 11th best team in the country deserves a decisive kick in the testicles.

Also - Michigan 7th? Good God.

Won't be popular with HORNS fans, but based on that win over lsu, ucla looks better than us right now.  I also think if ucla stays healthy, they will beat the condoms  this year.

I hope Iowa State beats Iowa this year, but based on last Saturday's performances I kinda doubt it...

Fool me once shame on you will keep Texas out of the polls for quite a while

Win over Tceh and TCU, and they'll slip back into the bottom so it's a Top 25 matchup in Dallas.

Sooner at three and four is laughable.

This. So far OUsux hasn't looked like a top 5 team at all, but then aggy hasn't looked like a top 10 team either.

So some voter watched Texas beat Rice by 58 and thought they looked worse than they did against pig?

That is a bit odd, we have one point fewer in the AP this week than last (22 vs 23). But we're technically "ranked" higher at 32 instead of 36

Kansas State should not be ranked right now with Skylar Thompson out. They are probably going to lose to Oklahoma State, who has a pretty good defense again it would seem, without him. OSU has a Thompson-less K State and Baylorat home before Texas, they may well be 5-0 and ranked top 15-20 when they come to Austin after the RRS, despite looking pretty meh so far.

The poll 'system' is a fucking joke of epic proportions. Everything is set up by preseason ranking that are ridiculously fucked up and shouldn't even exist.

If we win against Tech and it’s relatively convincing, we’ll be in the bottom of Top 25 along with TCU if they beat SMU. 

Possible, depending on perception of Arkansas vs aggy. If they win and acquit themselves as a good team then the loss starts to get penalized less. If they lose and look mediocre then Texas is going to have to win in Ft. Worth to get back in the polls.

I hope we’re still not ranked when we cornhole ousux

That would mean we’ve lost to either Tech, TCU or both.

We won 58 to 0 this week and got fewer votes than last week.  By that measure I hope by the time we play OU we're not getting any votes at all

Yeah I get it, but the only way we're not ranked when we play ousux is by losing one or both of the next two, and I certainly don't hope for that, so...

...in other news, fuck the tortilla tossers, fuck the cockroaches, and triple fuck the dirt burglars.

The thing about college football is that there aren't 25 good teams. I can't complain about a 3-0 team with lopsided wins over Stanford and Nevada being ranked 25th.

The CFB polls is kinda like US News college rankings.  It's only used for jostling over the top 5, top 10.  Beyond that nobody gives a shit about #32 vs #33.

Clemson still ranked is ridiculous. Texas out of the top 25 for a loss against a top 10ish team is equally ridiculous.

Was wondering if we’d sneak in at 25 or so. Kinda happy we did not. 
 

would be interested in some voter rationale for the delta between Texas and aggy. I know the answer and it’s laziness but would be fun to see them try to explain it otherwise. 

I love how we have the same record and loss as aggy, and have better wins, yet we are #26 and they are #13.

For the sake of argument, I'm not sure I'd say it was really the same loss...

 

But hey, preseason rankings are dumb and we live with their reverberations.
