September 17, 20232 yr 30 minutes ago, closetojumping said: Florida being ranked is laughable. They live in Tennessee’s head and Joe Milton sucks out loud. Also, Tennessee being ranked is comical. They shit themselves on national tv last night, they weren’t terrific against Virginia and Austin Peay gave them all they could handle. Counterpoint: while I am not gonna say we looked good against Utah, we lost to the then ranked (no. 11), twice Pac-12 defending champion, after self-destructing many times. Which is not me denying that we look like dog shit against Utah. While we easily fucked up Tennessee (until Billy took his foot off the gas in the second half and ran the ball and kill clock, given the slim chance the Vols were going to score 4 times in the second half), the bigger question is how the hell can Tennessee be ranked higher than Florida after that horse abortion performance in the Swamp?
September 17, 20232 yr Anyone expressing outrage at Texas but failing to criticize FSU win is not being objective. They should have lost. And the polls are not set up to rank Texas alone. If everyone around us sucked a bit more than we did, that’s how you move up after a poor showing.

September 17, 20232 yr So when Texas and Oklahoma leave, why again is the Big 12 supposed to be considered a "power" conference again? Less "Power 4" and more "Group of 6" IMO.

September 17, 20232 yr Interesting split between AP and Coaches poll. Is it laziness, dislike, or something else? Oh well, Urban Meyer says we're number one.

The coaches poll is definitely laziness and very formulaic old school style voting where a loss means a team moves down 5-10 spots, other teams who won move up into those spots, regardless of the margin or the opponent. Coaches poll voters don’t try to evaluate all the teams and reshuffle accordingly. It’s worthless. Some AP ballots are still wonky but I feel like more voters now at least have a good bit of fluidity in their ballots, especially early the season. Edited September 17, 20232 yr by LonghornSean
September 17, 20232 yr We in no way deserve to be #3. Though I haven't seen any team play worthy of a Top 5 ranking so far except for the teams like USC who are just rolling cupcakes each week. Just handle our business and we'll be fine.
September 17, 20232 yr Well in the coaches' poll, KSU still has more votes than Missouri. In the AP poll Tennessee is rated ahead of Florida who stomped them last night. In the Coaches' poll Tennessee is still rated while Florida is down around #29. They aren't even looking at all the scores before voting.
September 17, 20232 yr It’s weird to see the media being skittish about trusting ou, after one poor season.

Washington. 3-0 all murders, 1 against Boise and 1 at MSU. None of those are great teams but Washington has looked great.

We have 20 point+ wins against two G5 teams that each have a P5 win already, and a 10 point win on the road against Alabama. Our resume is as good as anyone's right now - in fact ESPN has us with the #1 strength of record so far.

Our resume is as good as anyone's right now - in fact ESPN has us with the #1 strength of record so far. I'm glad we're 3-0. Team has shown some really good things. I ain't gonna go drown myself in the Koo-laid just yet. Took until the 2nd half against Rice to get our shit together. Took until the 4th quarter to get our shit together against Wyoming. We handled Alabama but left plenty of points on the field and that ain't the normal Alabama, if we're being honest. I'd like to see us put a full game together of no mistakes and Ewers/receivers being on point before I crown our ass. But like I said, basically every team has looked shaky so far in the season outside of a few who haven't been tested. Just win out over this shit-tier Big 12. Never been a better chance to run the table.
September 17, 20232 yr That tweet has about 300 replies, and 298 of those are petty, childish taunts. Good job, Surly.

September 24, 20232 yr I was surprised to see FSU dropping after a road win against Clemson. USC dropped 3 after a win as well, they did look like shit in the half I watched of that game. Kansas at 24 means a ranked match up Saturday.

Take care of business and they’ll both go into a bye at 5-0 and their matchup on 10/15 will be the biggest game in the nation.

I watched that game - they would beat almost half of the teams in the Big12. It reminded me of the Texas/OSU game in 2004. We were down 35-7 and won 56-35. I actually found a good link that talks about the game. As a bonus it links to the full game on YouTube, and below that it links to the Pump Fake from the 2005 game. Enjoy. https://www.footballstudyhall.com/2017/4/7/15211036/2004-texas-oklahoma-state-50-best-college-football-teams

September 24, 20232 yr They should’ve lost. They didn’t, but they should’ve. Some voters may have watched the game. Clemson is trying really hard to bring back clemsoning the way they finished that game.
September 24, 20232 yr If I was voting, I’d probably have Washington and Ohio state above Texas this week.
